"Tara McPherson is an artist based in New York. Creating art about people and their odd ways, her characters seem to exude an idealized innocence with a glimpse of hard earned wisdom in their eyes. Her portraits explore the realms of our psychological states via myths, legends, astronomy, physics, nature, love, loss, childhood and good old life experience. Giving us a peek into the complexities of the human psyche through her otherwordly characters."

Tara McPherson is very familiar here on TOYSREVIL, not least her recent toy releases (*crosses fingers for exclusive editions for toycon), as well her latest art book/publication from Dark Horse Comics, "Wandering Luminations" (Find out more here), and as well featured below is her contribution to the Hello Kitty 45th Anniversary currently exhibition at @coreyhelfordgallery!
The New York-based artist was last in Singapore circa 2012, who I've unfortunately never got to meet her in person ... I certainly hope to this year! :)
