Her Story
Tamara was born and raised on a ranch
in the wilds of Montana. Growing up in that remote setting
instilled in her a special connection to animals and nature. That
gift is clearly evident in the heartfelt and realistic quality of
her sculptures.
Tamara initially expressed her
natural creativity with pencil
sketches of
wildlife and
landscapes. One fateful day, a
fellow artist dropped a formless
lump of clay into her hands. In
mere moments, she had created the
form of a playful little bear that
was extraordinary for its attention
to detail and emotional impact. She
discovered her true passion that
day, and soon realized her dream of
becoming a full time artist. Today,
her award-winning sculptures have
earned the respect and admiration of
collectors, judges, and fellow
artists throughout the United States
and Canada.
Tamara is well known for her uncanny
ability to accurately capture the
essence of a moment in nature. Yet
her signature style ensures it will
often be infused with a whimsical
flare. Her work is compelling and
timeless. One collector summed up
this artist’s unique talent when she
said, “Tamara’s bronze art is so
unbelievably life-like and spiritual
that one imagines it was created by
throwing molten bronze onto a
natural scene. Only in this way
could she have so perfectly captured
the anatomy and majesty of her
subjects.”
“When your
eye cannot look away from my
sculpture with just a passing
glance, and you feel a need to touch
it with a reflection of your own
thoughts- that is when I know I have
given the best I can give.”
--Tamara Schweigert
