Woman Soar

Tara Krause is a visual artist and filmmaker, who seeks to forge a new vision of abstract expressionist gesture fused with Baroque craft to express the primal while exploring the emerging science of complexity. She collaborates with an international team of scientists, musicians and composers on the aesthetics and discoveries of the computational universe. Her work deals in the themes of women, war, human rights and science.

Tara’s eight-part human rights video series, Women Hold Up The Sky, premiered at the United Nations in a collaborative project with human rights groups and filmmakers in Zanzibar, Argentina, New York and Senegal. In 2004, she was selected for the Wolfram Research Summer Institute at Brown University. She was invited to participate in the First International Conference of A New Kind of Science (NKS2003) and presented a series of three solarplate etchings and a video, Cellular Automata, Undulating Jellies and Pulsing Bonita: A New Kind of Science & Art.

Her paintings and etchings are in private and corporate collections. Tara has won fellowships from private donors as well as foundation and government grants. Atelier trained, she studied in New York at the Art Students League. Tara holds a BS in Engineering, Arabic and Russian from the United States Military Academy and an EMBA in Management from New York University. She is a veteran of the nuclear Cold War and first Gulf War. Currently based in LA and Cornwall, Tara is represented by Sheryl Young Ltd. in the UK.
