Tamara Rendell Painting Emily Dickinson (2012)

Date2012DescriptionTamara Rendell is a Tauranga artist who has developed her own unique style and often uses her art to comment on subjects she feels strongly about. In this photo we see Tamara painting a portrait of the American poet Emily Dickinson. "Photographs of Emily show her in black and white, with strict clothing and sternly pulled back patted down hair. That head of hair was actually red and I imagine that linking with her wild words and unconventional grammar. I plan to paint her words crawling up her arms from the pen in her hand, and making their way into the hair: bright and flying about her head", Tamara explains.
