Tara McDermott, The Portrait Witch
My work is an ongoing exploration of being—
of change, desire, connection, absence.
A fascination with what we carry, what shapes us,
and the stories we rarely speak aloud.
The work is dark, moody, bold, and dramatic—
built in layers, steeped in colour, shaped by emotion.
My influences come from everywhere: books, film, music, memory, myth, and the wild terrain of pop culture.
Each piece begins with a feeling, a flicker, a pull—
and the need to follow it wherever it goes.
This is a wild and liminal space.
The only constant is transformation.
