Tara Dean works as an illustrator and printmaker and also runs workshops for community groups and schools across Denbighshire. She is inspired by the landscape of the Vale of Clwyd and all her work begins with sketches she has made along the coast and in the mountains. 

Tara explores and experiments with ‘findings’ often producing work layered from many different parts of the original discovery. Drawing is the most significant part of any project they develop. Creating alternative interpretations of the original line through screen printing and other mark making processes. Light shapes, land lines and mostly natural finds inspire my images, wherever they might find myself looking often patterns will pop up.

Darlunydd a gwneuthurwr printiau yw Tara sy'n cynnal gweithdai i grwpiau cymunedol ac ysgolion ledled Sir Ddinbych. Caiff ei gwaith ei ysbrydoli gan dirwedd Dyffryn Clwyd, ac mae’n cychwyn gyda brasluniau a wneir ar hyd yr arfordir ac yn y mynyddoedd.

Mae’n archwilio ac yn arbrofi gyda gwrthrychau wedi’u canfod, ac yn aml yn creu darnau haenog sy’n ymgorffori elfennau o’i darganfyddiadau. Mae lluniadu’n ganolog i bob project, gan ffurfio’r sylfaen ar gyfer dehongliadau amgen drwy sgrin-brintio a thechnegau creu marciau eraill. Caiff ei delweddaeth ei hysbrydoli gan siapiau goleuni, llinellau’r tir, a ffurfiau natur, patrymau sy’n ymddangos lle bynnag sy’n denu ei llygad.
