Tara Rudman is a professional artist who lives in Sebastopol, California. She loves the beauty of the Sonoma landscape. It inspires much of her work.The style is interpretive, with a vibrant and kinetic quality. The colors are rich, with dramatic brush strokes.

“Light is essential to my inspiration. Light brings out form, makes colors sing, and gives mystery to shadow. I am always studying light. It is ever changing, with myriad uses that express many things: mood, character, temperature, seasons, and a sense of space.”

Tara Rudman
