English says, “quantum physics describes the universe as an ocean of particles in constant motion informing the physical and subtle worlds. In my work, I explore the question of what animates these particles and my fascination with the undercurrents of thoughts, emotions, beliefs, longings, and other deeper aspects of self. Yet my central concern focuses on individual and collective perceptions of the eternal, or Ground of Being. My work is an investigation of how I experience the movement of the eternal in my life.” Composed of many layers the paintings become intersections for the visual language of different cultures and belief systems, driven by the exploration of the idea of encountering the eternal in each moment. Tamara English lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
