“Tara Kissoon is a visual artist whose work explores serenity, emotional depth, and healing through a thoughtful blend of subject and medium. Her art focuses on architecture, landscapes, and portraits, presented with a subtle three-dimensional perspective that draws viewers into quiet reflection. Using acrylic paint, pencil, charcoal, and pastels, she constructs scenes that balance structure and softness, capturing both physical environments and inner states of mind. Guided by an altruistic vision, Tara approaches each composition with the intent to offer peace and clarity, creating a visual experience that feels meditative and restorative. Her use of layered techniques and controlled detail invites emotional connection while maintaining a calm and balanced aesthetic. Through gentle contrasts and thoughtful design, her work transforms everyday subjects into expressions of empathy and calm. Tara’s practice reflects a belief in art as a personal and shared space where beauty, intention, and healing coexist.” ....Authored by TERAVARNA

 

What does Tara’s art represent…

The Gift of Love - Tara’s art encompasses elements of her religious philosophy which showcases her values to include integrity, compassion, peace and inner strength.  “Love is patient, love is kind, love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.  It does not insist on its own way.  It is not irritable or resentful.  It does not rejoice in wrongdoing but rejoices in the truth.  It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things....Love never ends."

What makes Tara’s art unique…

Tara’s art is developed through imagery and inner feelings, sharing to her audience a unique visual art illustration in two dimensional and three dimensional form.  To capture the meaning of her art, Tara embeds music and audio which is used to describe the significance of her body of work.  This experience can be viewed on Tara Kissoon’s Gallery located on Canada’s Virtual Mall @ www.thevirtualmall.ca, and is currently not for sale.

What does Tara want her art to say to her audience…

“The world is the great gymnasium where we come to make ourselves strong.”
Tara includes her art as illustrations within her children’s nonfiction chapter book series, Book 1:  Simple Beginnings… “Never Give Up”, Book 2:  Road to Independence and Book 3:  Koala’s Vacation adventures.

Tara’s literature is based on true events, and she hopes it inspires young adults to persevere through life’s adversities as personal goals are always achievable… “Never Give Up”.   Tara’s inspiration for her art and literature stems from her grandmother.  Tara’s grandmother was a remarkable woman, she was a wonderful combination of warmth and kindness, love and laughter.  As a child, Tara was fortunate to have a loving grandmother, as Tara’s parents are divorced and during the period from when she was born to the age of seventeen, Tara move continuously.  Living in two countries, two provinces and attending seven schools to include private preschool in Georgetown, Guyana, public and catholic schools in Canada.  Tara’s art and literature provides elements of a healthy childhood development fostered through a stable environment provided by her Gran.  “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight.  In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths."

Tara’s art shares a glimpse of her life experiences and inner values….

“Take up one idea.  Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea.  Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.  This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced.”
Tara’s artistic endeavours blossomed over ten years with a shift of priorities in personal, academic and professional pursuits.  Her inner strength and perseverance are rooted within her mixed heritage of Hindu and Roman Catholic philosophy.
 
Tara is fortune to have a very supportive nuclear family, with loving sons who embrace her artistic initiatives.
