Tara was raised at the end of a long dirt road in Vermont. After
wandering west and graduating from Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa
Barbara, California in 2007, she returned to the coast where her sarcasm and
preferential treatment of winter weather would be better appreciated.
Tara is a Brooklyn based photographer focusing on projects related
to education, gender equality, community service and environmental
conservation.
