Exhibition information

Tasha’s work is inspired by a deep connection to nature and the quiet joy found in wild, outdoor spaces. She creates mixed media pieces using watercolours alongside inks, oil pastels and coloured pencils, occasionally incorporating natural elements, allowing each artwork to build slowly and intuitively. Botanical forms sit at the heart of her practice, with wildflowers featuring heavily, influenced by a lifelong love of spending time outdoors.

Through colour, texture and expressive mark-making, Tasha aims to create artwork that feels uplifting and grounding, bringing a sense of calm, joy and connection to nature into everyday spaces. Sustainability and care for the natural world underpin her work, with many collections gently reflecting themes of conservation, place and emotional connection.

Artist information

Tasha is a mixed media artist based in Oxfordshire. Her creative practice has evolved through years of experimentation with colour, texture and materials, resulting in a body of work that balances intuitive mark-making with thoughtful, layered processes.

Alongside her studio practice, Tasha runs relaxed, beginner-friendly creative workshops, welcoming those who may feel unsure about where to start. Her teaching focuses on process over perfection, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and enjoyment through subjects such as watercolour florals, lino printing, and more. She also creates bespoke artwork and custom wedding stationery, thoughtfully designed to reflect personal stories, with each piece made with care and intention.
