Artist of the Month

Tamara Sienna is a local artist who works in varied mediums.  Her philosophy is as follows:  
I continue to express myself through images, always flowing with the rhythm of life, never limiting to one medium or surface.  I am constantly experimenting with various painting mediums, drawing styles and developing self-taught techniques. Striving to give my art a coherent structure while symbolically paralleling past, present, and future life experiences. My influences range from my love of nature, whimsical fantasy designs, yoga, physical or spiritual forms, years spent in beautiful California among redwood trees, vineyards, roaring Pacific ocean, and a desire for color movement through my work.

Mon - Wed 9 to 8:30
