More About You
| Tania is drawn to the emotional connection of seemingly ordinary objects and domestic spaces — the quiet moments and familiar items that, when truly observed, hold deep personal meaning. Through still life painting, Tania seeks to elevate these everyday forms into reflections on connection, presence, and lived experience.
Her current works are heavily influenced by French antiques and market places having in recent years attended two separate Atelier Artist in Residency placements in France. The first in 2023 at Chateau Bouthonvilliers in Dangeau and the most recent at Chateau de Cerisay in the Sarthe region in 2025. Tania has been a finalist in several major Australian art prizes including the Lethbridge Small Scale Art Award (2025 Highly Commended and Finalist 2024), the Kennedy Art Prize (2024), Stanthorpe Art Prize (2024), Brisbane Rotary Art Prize (2024 and 2023), and Redland Art Award (2022). Tania has also been the recipient of first prizes in both the Kenilworth Arts Prize (2022) and Mary Valley Arts Festival (2022). |
