Hi there!
I’m Tash and I'm a coastal landscape painter from Sydney’s South.
I was born and raised in Coffs Harbour, where the coastline cradled my earliest memories. As a child, I was always creating things.
In high school, however, I was told there was no future in art and to focus on maths and science instead. So I did what I was told, not what I truly wanted.
It wasn’t until my early 30’s that I picked up a brush again. No formal training — just daily practice, patience, and trust in my own two hands.
My love for nature runs deep. It was nurtured on bush walks with my dad and in the muddy joy of childhood afternoons spent exploring creeks and rain-fed pools with my neighbour. We’d rescue tadpoles from drying puddles, carry them home in buckets, and raise them until they grew legs and hopped away.
Those moments taught me to notice the small things. To care and to protect.
When I’m not painting, you’ll find me kayaking along lakes, hiking in the mountains; or, snorkelling along the beautiful turquoise waters of NSW.
Feel free to explore my gallery and reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more about my work.
