I want to introduce you to Tarah Gaa [tg].  This is a woman of many talents.  She has an eye for design – bringing a decade of experience in advertising and multimedia and puts every ounce of passion into her work.   Tarah paints abstract art containing a lot of texture, lots of color and mixed emotion.  Work meant to make people feel or see something.  After spending an afternoon with Tarah and her gorgeous art, I totally get it.  Painting has been a life-long passion for her.  Tarah started by painting work for the walls in her apartment.  The work grew and the space ran out.  Friends began to notice.  Art shows began happening.  Paintings began selling.  ”It’s an incredible feeling to have my art in someone else’s home.  I like causing a reaction and evoking a feeling.”  Tarah wants to give people the opportunity to draw from her work and take from it what they see.  She’s an amazing talent and wonderful person.  Be sure to check out the [tg] site and one of her upcoming art shows (currently at Indie House Collective).  

As we were wrapping up the shoot, I heard a train.  Could not have been more excited.  Tarah was a total sport and played model (clearly not difficult for her) for the next 10 minutes.  Seriously though…she can work the camera.  The next four shots were within the 10 minute train session!
