Tammy’s serious interest in art began when she retired in 2016 and thus began her journey of becoming a professional artist, studying with Ed Hill of Gibsons, B.C. As an outdoor enthusiast, Tammy spends a lot of time paddling, hiking and biking the Sunshine Coast. Like her mentor, she is always ‘looking for a painting’. Her artist’s eye takes over when outdoors—‘is there a painting there?’ In her work, she strives to capture the essence of that moment in time when light and subject meet to create a perfect snapshot in time that can never be repeated.
