Lazy Bones Photography- Artist feature and Giveaway!

About Tara Sullivan Garvin:

How long have you been creating art?

I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. I have very vivid memories of art class in elementary school and of drawing pictures on my closet door when I was five and trying to blame it on someone else despite the fact that I'm an only child.



What inspires you?

I haven't quite figured out what triggers my bursts of inspiration. Generally they seem to come out of nowhere. Although I will say that if I visit a good art museum I usually come home pretty inspired.


How long have you been interested in photography?

I played around with cameras all my life but I fell in love with photography in high school. Digital photography certainly has it's huge advantages but I very much miss working in a darkroom and I hope to build myself one in the future.

What type of camera do you use?

I use a canon xsi, it's not the best camera on the market but it suits me just fine.


How long have you been painting?

That's kind of a funny question because the answer is “a few months”. I decided that I wanted to start making collages and discovered through that process that I really enjoyed the painting aspect of it. Since then I've been doing at least one or two paintings a week.

What types of paint/materials do you use?

I generally stick to acrylics on either canvas or watercolor paper. I also do collages with found objects, vintage book pages, buttons, keys, tiny gears, ect...


Did you attend college/art school/ classes anything that would be relevant to your art?

I am for the most part self taught. Aside from three wonderful years of high school photography classes everything else has been through books or experimentation.
