One women show 

 the work of Tamara Natalie Madden

Friday June 18 2004 Bean Head café hosted a one women show by my good friend Tamara Madden. The show seemed like it was a big success. My opinion is that it was long over do for Tamara to bask in the appreciation of her work . I hadn't  seen any of her work in some time so I was shocked and amazed to see how far she has come as an artist in the last few years. Tamara has been able to do what is a goal of every artist and that is to tap into her very soul and find her style and flavor as an artist. And it shows in her work  every thing from her Caribbean roots to her love of life and the people. Her work seems effortless yet complex as one is drawn into each image of life in Jamaica.

It's hard to believe she has been able to connect so completely with the memories and atmosphere of her home land after spending so much time here in Milwaukee. The Journal Sentinel had a nice story on Tamara (here) and this page is my tribute to this wonderful, beautiful, special person who happens to be a great artist and friend.
