Artworks by Tanya Hollatz
|
|
Tanya lives in Hamilton and works from her studio where she produces paintings and ceramic sculptures. She has a background in photography and this has strongly influenced her paintings. Her paintings are a reflection of her love for landscape and the effects that light plays on the land, sea and sky.
"Like so many of my paintings my ideas are drawn from a desire to be close to nature. While expressing my thoughts and feelings through landscape and natural imagery I am able to explore metaphor and symbolism."
Tanya is currently completing her Diploma in Ceramic Art through Otago Polytechnic. Study is not new to her though. Growing up in Christchurch she developed a passion for art and education. She has a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, majoring in sculpture from Ilam Fine Arts School in Canterbury, is a graduate from Christchurch College of Education, has a Diploma in Teaching NZ and an Advanced Diploma in Photography from Massey University. Tanya has taught art at Waimea College in Nelson and Artmakers Trust in Hamilton. She currently works part time as a pottery tutor at the Waikato University and is an active member of the Waikato Society of Potters.
" I enjoy exploring every art medium and working my ideas into each form, my approach to making art has become quite holistic, where there are no boundaries."
