Tamara Thomsen lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. She studied painting in school, obtaining a BFA from Syracuse University and an MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University. She reimmersed herself in fine art full-time after a two-decades job at New York design firm, Smart Design. Particular Vitrines: January Crimsons, a public art installation was installed at 65 Broadway in the financial district in Manhattan in March 2013. Recent group exhibitions include Personal Accounts at Long Island University, The New Intimists at NURTUREart and Brooklyn Navy Yard Artists, all in Brooklyn.
A selection of Tamara's work is included in Watercolor, Paintings by Contemporary Artists, a new publication from Chronicle Books released in April 2013. Leslie Dutcher writes in the book's introduction:
" . . . Thomsen's rooms, as well as her landscapes, give the viewer the perspective of being fully immersed in their spaces--in fact, her watercolors are unusually large, some nearly wall-sized. They further evoke the palette and sparseness of a van Gogh painting--the post-Impressionist painter also worked in watercolor and created many distinctive works less textured than the oil paintings that most associate with his oeuvre."
