Tara McPherson is a painter and freelance illustrator based out of Los Angeles. Painting about people and their odd ways, Tara's characters seem to exude an idealized innocence with a glimpse of hard earned wisdom in their eyes. Recalling many issues from childhood and good old life experience, she paints images that are thought provoking and seducing. She also hand crafts her frames, utilizing various types of power tools.

Her recent freelance work has been for the cover of "Skratch" magazine, and an ad campaign for a new perfume line called "Alchera" which is selling well in London, and soon to be released in the U.S. late this year.

Tara's next exhibition will be a four person show with Tim Biskup, Jeff Soto, and Craiger at La Luz de Jesus Gallery in August. Also coming up in the future - an article in Destroy All Monthly Magazine, an artist highlight in Savage Magazine, a featured artist spot on the Zone 9 Pop Up Gallery, and a group show early next year at 111 Minna Gallery. Tara McPherson's paintings have been exhibited at the past three Burning Brush Auctions, La Luz de Jesus Gallery, Blessing of the Cars, The Cannibal Flower, and Headquarters Gallery.
