Chaparral member Tami Wood is showcasing an exciting collection of her creative portfolio throughout May at the Center for Healthy Generations. Tami is an extraordinary woman whose beauty radiates through her art. Her creations have transformed over the years, reflecting her dynamic approach to materials and techniques. Despite the evolution in materials, her work consistently exudes a sense of whimsy and love, qualities that infuse every piece she creates.
Tami's art is characterized by her inventive use of repurposed wood, found desert objects, and mixed media, which she combines to create depth and texture. Each piece is a testament to her ability to breathe new life into everyday materials, transforming them into vibrant and uplifting works of art. Her use of bold colors and the incorporation of text symbols and uplifting words through her pieces add layers of meaning and visual interest, drawing viewers into her imaginative world.
The patterns and symbols Tami employs imbue her work with a youthful joy and playful experimentation. Her creations often resemble visual stories, with recurring motifs and forms that invite viewers to explore and interpret.
