Tara kaiser
Hello, my name is Tara and I'm from Toledo, Ohio. I have always loved arts
and crafts as a kid and when I graduated from high school I was inspired to
continue on with finding myself as an artist.
I graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2012 with a
bachelor’s degree in fine arts with my focus in both printmaking and
painting. When creating my body of work in college I was fascinated by the 1950’s pin-up and began putting seemingly innocent female
figures into character roles that depicted them in a violent and mysterious
way; my underlying theme being, “Things are not always as they seem.”
After graduation I took a
breather and decided to rekindle my love for creating jewelry as well as other
crafty pastimes. I began by combining my
love of sweets with polymer clay and thus created a fun style of jewelry. I opened up an online shop using Etsy called TaffyKat Boutique and
have started to sell my Jewelry and accessory pieces. As I
have fun making my kitschy decorative accessories I am inspired to develop a
new body of work and continue my progress as a artist/crafter using all my skills.
