Tara Willey

Tara Willey is a Brooklyn based artist and creative multi-hyphenate. Her art is largely inspired by the human experience and its communion with spirituality, nature, and whimsy. Her love of mixed media (acrylic, ink, watercolor & textiles) charmingly melds with her aim for joy, intention, and service to be at the center of her creative work. In making art, writing her blog, or performing her latest role on camera, she aims to explore life’s nuances by which a deeper, more soulful life can be known. Through humor, heartbreak, and rose colored lenses, she aims to glorify what is most precious in life- both the brutal and the beautiful.
