I am 24 and was a high achiever at school and sport. I became unwell at 13 years of age and that led to me spending time in hospital where I completed schooling but also developed my skills in music and art. These skills have helped me to create a new beginning and journey of self discovery. I have created some amazing artwork as well as developing Interior Design Skills. My artworks have been awarded and published for a variety of projects, the diversity of my art makes me proud of who I am now growing to be.

Tamara contributed the artwork Emerging into Freedom for our 2024 exhibition.
