Tara Parker-Woolway
My studio is open for you to visit on the 17th/ 18th and 25th/26th /27th May 12pm until 5 pm
– For appointments outside of these times, please contact me at tara@parkerwoolwayartist.co.uk
I am delighted to share a selection of my most recent works with you. You may notice a development in my abstracted landscape series – I have become increasingly drawn to making misty, ethereal works which incorporate water. This year, I have been collating words too, to make titles – romantic, poetic words that describe feelings and places.
So, grab a cuppa (or a tipple of your choice) sit back and take a wander through what has kept me busy recently…..
Oxfordshire Artweeks 2024.
Hello, welcome to my catalogue for
My studio is a riot of paint and a hive of activity!
As I work on many paintings consecutively, I have created a ‘contemplation wall’ – an area where I hang my work to study it as it progresses. Often paintings will sit quietly for a period of time before I realise what they need to finish them off.
All my work is sealed and varnished before being sold and I can arrange talk through framing options if needed.
If you see an artwork that you are particularly drawn to in the following pages, do get in touch and I would be delighted to arrange a private viewing ahead of Artweeks.
I appreciate buying an artwork can be a big investment and a very personal choice. For a small deposit, if you are local, I can offer a ‘try before you buy’ system, allowing you to view an artwork in your own home.
Payment plans to spread the cost are available –please just ask for more details!
