TAMARA ADAMS

Lift Up The Heart"
Acrylic/Collage 16 x 19

 

 Tommer's oil paintings on canvas with their bold and often subtle palettes radiating dynamic patterns are reminiscent of the early modern abstract expressionists.  His unique works portray a subtle strength while still being complicated and layered.  There is a definitive statement as well as a colorful and dynamic surprise found in each painting.  Recently, the Multnomah Athletic Club purchased two of Tommer's largest abstract paintings from his "Ethel" series 6' x 9's  for their new dining room in the men's bar.

 

Tamara is known for her acrylic paintings of women and children that often reflect the vibrant colors of a Latin American influence.  She is inspired by the Mexican Muralists and Frida Kahlo, and by mythology, culture, spirituality and religion.  Her paintings pay tribute to the beauty, mystery and strength of women and their female spirit.
