Born Tanja Wolter in Hamburg, Germany. Moved to Australia with my parents when a young child.
I currently reside on the Southern NSW coast of Australia.
Formerly a professional and successful singer/songwriter/musician and after touring, performing and recording a CD in America from 2001-2004 returned home to Australia and began to pursue an art career.
Studied art with world renowned artist Howard David Johnson in 2006-2008. From then onwards have continued to study art on my own learning various techniques and skills from other highly skilled artists from all over the world.
Primarily influenced by the work of the old impressionist and pre-raphaelite masters. My artwork is predominantly religious for which I am most known and commissioned for. In more recent times I have branched out to allow my old masters influences to flourish in works that are medieval/renaissance/victorian and the much loved figurative/fantasy art style.
I am a skilled portrait artist. Faces are my specialty and eyes are the windows of the true magic of my artistic talent. I work primarily with acrylics and sometimes incorporate impasto medium into my works.
