Tania Lucas lives and works in Melbourne. Her love affair with painting began as a child and has continued throughout her life. Her work brings together realism combined with free creative expression. A passionate wildlife photographer you can find her wandering her local bushlands photographing wild birds to paint. Tania paints nature with a loving dedication to accuracy, then marrying it with bold shapes and relaxed, layered brush strokes. She adores color embracing it with openness and joy. A common goal in every painting, is to squeeze in as many gorgeous colors as possible. As a self-taught artist exploration is a key component in her painting and creative journey. From portraits to abstracts and everything in between nothing is off limits in Tania’s ongoing process of creative expression and personal growth.
