Vishnu Temple, Grand Canyon, 50 x 40”

Explore the dynamic, angular, and incandescent paintings of Flagstaff-based painter Tamara Hastie. An intense connection to the outdoors allows Hastie the ability to record the essence of the earth and sky, and all that they hold, in bold, swaths of vibrating color that are exacting, descriptive, and spare.

- James Schaub, Tohono Chul Gallery Director

Painting the beauty of the southwest with the heart of an explorer.

“To share these beautiful moments with others is one of the greatest and most fulfilling benefits of all.”

Born in Ojai, California, Tamara has been painting since she was a child, inspired by her mother who taught her to closely examine details, really getting into the corners. She gave Tamara the tools growing up to realize her potential in any discipline she chose.
