Tara Harris studied Fine Art at Newcastle upon Tyne, graduating in 1991 with a specialism in printmaking. She later completed a PGCE in Education, becoming a dedicated advocate for creativity in schools. Her commitment to arts education has been recognised with several Arts Council awards.

 

Since 2024, Harris has exhibited widely, including at the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, and in her first solo show at Nook Studios, Birmingham. Recent group exhibitions include Belongings and Surreal Solihull at the Courtyard Gallery, Ascent of Man in Edinburgh, Birmingham Open in Victoria Square, and the Summer Exhibition at Coventry and Warwick University Hospital. A highlight was her first public commission for Surreal Solihull.

 

She received the Emerging Woman Artist Award from Arts to Hearts Project, with work featured in Artists on the Rise, Time and Memory, and Other Worlds. Harris continues to explore the ephemeral through her distinctive, dreamlike landscapes.

But what’s next? Tara continues to explore new exhibitions, collaborations, and commissions—deepening her connection to memory, nature, and the dreamlike paintings.
