Biography

|
Born: 1970 New Jersey, USA
Tara Good lived across the United States and in the Dominican Republic, currently living in Sea Isle City, NJ.
At the age of 15, Good won the Congressional Award for a photo-realistic drawing that was featured in the United States Capitol Building for one year. She has studied at Parson's in NYC, The California College of the Arts and Crafts in Oakland, Ca and at Altos De Chavon in the Dominican Republic.
Good was one of The Top Five to Collect in Savannah, Ga. and continued to win numerous awards for her work when she lived down South. Then she moved back to New Jersey and had her work in several TV shows & movies. After relocating, serious health issues plagued Good. Still, Good continues to paint graffiti on a textured wall focusing her lens on how mankind has impacted nature's environment. Using acrylic, mica, watercolors, gouache, ink, and century old bits of text & images, Good focuses her lens on what is "ugly beautiful" in our ever changing modern world by utilizing her camera, computer, and printing stencils that are then hand cut, by the artist, and finally incorporated into her paintings.

Statement
|
|
After children, battling leukemia, and current health conditions I am still exploring what interests me in the world today. I've had to learn how to work with my failing health. My soul still has so much to create and my history with graffiti and wall texture continues to be an area of interest. Practicing with watercolors, ink, and gouache so i can continue to educate myself the best i can...stepping back far enough so I can try to see what God sees. Im still exploring my environment and the feeling of my experiences, sharing them with a community I am as fond with, as I am frustrated with. Staying everso present in the valuable moments I still have left here on earth.
