About Me

Hi,

I'm Tania McMurtrie and I'm a Wellington (New Zealand), based artist.

I guess when I think about it, I've always felt most alive when I've been creating.  It's the quiet focus of the mind on a single task, the problem-solving and critique, the letting go and the moment you step back and view what you've done as a whole...

...and it's the joy of presenting that creation to another person and seeing them fall in love.

I've moved through different creative outlets and will probably continue to do so - there are endless possibilities which gives me a real sense of freedom and that childlike excitement that is often difficult to find in the "grown-up" world.

Right now, fluid acrylic art is providing me with both the challenges and satisfaction I need in life to maintain a balance - I love the science, I love the unpredictability and I really love that what I create stimulates the imagination in others.
