Mia Tarney

Mia Tarney has since moved from figurative painting towards still life and, in particular, floral and plant subjects. Drawn to the tremendous energy flowers embody, Mia Tarney is captivated by their ability to be both delicate and ethereal yet generating force and strength: "The variations of shape and colour are a wonder and each variety is a uniquely masterful design

Mia Tarney is meticulous in her approach in her study of subtle shades, contrast, forms and spaces. She aims to capture the essence of her subject and allow it complete ownership of the canvas. By enlarging the scale, the nature of the subject is intensified and thus depicts concentrated areas to display a wall of life. The subject becomes an arresting landscape to be absorbed and inspired by.
