Tania has compiled a large collection of her own photos on her computer as an aid in planning paintings. “I lose hours and days immersing myself in the idea of the painting while not losing sight of my original dreamed idea. Animal parks, zoos and bush walks provide inspiration. The Horowhenua and Manawatu regions are my local sources of study.” She normally works in acrylic on canvas, taking one to six weeks to complete a painting.

Tania is a self-taught artist who has been painting since childhood; she had her first solo exhibition in 1991 and has been involved in many group shows both here and in Australia. Tania’s artwork has appeared in ‘Pastel Artist International Magazine’ and the ‘Australian Artist Magazine.’ She regularly exhibits in the Annual Rotary Art Show in Paraparaumu and has been the invited artist twice. Tania has won various awards and prizes for her paintings including a People’s Choice Award at Te Manawa Art Awards in 2009. Her award-winning painting featured on the promotional material for the 2011 Manawatu Arts Award.
