bio

Tara combines a deep and intuitive understanding of materials and process with her inventive and visually engaging exploration of paper, thread, and layering of paint. Tara Hogan (a native to Connecticut) lives and works in upstate, NY. Tara creates instinctive paintings and collages informed by austerity and the unique day to day nuances drawn from memories with the intention of spiritual expansion. Her works envelope abstraction through intuitive felt mark making. Tara received her BFA from Syracuse University. She has shown her work at Shoppe Object, Architectural Digest, Field + Supply, Bes Gallery, Millerton, NY and 313 Space curated by Schwung, High Point, NC; amongst others. Her work resides in business and home art collections across the country.

Her work is a dialogue between the internal landscape of the self and the external vastness of nature. Inspired by the 'vortex' of Iceland’s black sands and the rhythmic grace of Vedic philosophy, I create forms that wave, run, and find stillness. This practice is the culmination of a twenty-year trajectory—beginning in her grunge-laden painting studio and evolving into a multidisciplinary exploration of textiles, photography, and collage.

She is drawn to the fragile beauty of torn paper and the 'solemn information' found in open spaces. Through her work, she aims to translate the spontaneity of nature into a visual language of grace. Each piece is a textured remnant capturing the quiet, cathartic power of the natural world.
