Based in Prince Edward Island, I am a mixed-media artist dedicated to capturing the "raw energy" and quiet resilience of the human experience. My work is an ongoing exploration of the tension between fragility and strength, documented through a diverse range of mediums including oil, watercolor, pencil, and charcoal.

The Artistic Vision

My practice is rooted in the belief that a portrait should be more than a likeness; it should be a narrative. Whether I am working with the delicate translucency of watercolor or the rich, visceral depth of oils, my goal is to uncover the emotional truth beneath the surface. I am particularly drawn to themes of human emotion and the lifecycle, finding inspiration in the intimate stories of the people and community around me.

A Multidisciplinary Approach

Versatility is at the heart of Studio Tammy. By moving fluidly between the precision of graphite and charcoal and the expressive layers of painting, I am able to choose the medium that best speaks to the subject's energy. My work often balances fine detail with raw, expressive marks, creating a high-impact visual experience that invites the viewer to look closer.

Professional Practice

As an emerging artist and I am committed to the continuous growth of my studio practice. Since 2026, I have placed a renewed focus on developing large-scale thematic collections and professional portfolio work. This dedication to my craft allows me to bridge the gap between technical skill and emotional resonance, ensuring each piece—from a small sketch to a 20x30 centerpiece—carries its own unique weight.

Welcome to the studio. I invite you to explore these stories with me.

 CURRENT PROJECT IN THE WORKS

VAAS the Bugg.  He is full of character I have to portray. The only way to play fetch is with 3 balls. 

Project is 20 X20 in Oil color Paints. I have a couple more hours of work to do. This has taken me 2 days so far

 

Previous Project

ENDURE. 20X30 Oil Painting on canvas. 

This was my therapy after completing treatment for breast cancer. Personally, I found after it was all done much more difficult then the treatment itself. Adjusting to "back to normal" in a new body, a new mindset.
