Photographer, Artist, Creatrice

Born in Toronto, Tara Wilkinson is an award-winning Canadian fine art photographer and mixed media artist. Through her art, she explores themes of joy, love, spirituality, nature and human nature. Tara has travelled extensively, photographing in over 25 countries. From behind the lens, Tara captures the details hidden from most. Her soulful images take the viewer on a visual journey. Tara’s solo exhibition “AMORE” was part of the 2017 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival in Toronto.

Moving to Prince Edward County in 2007, Tara was inspired to explore the nest as an iconic symbol of life. She began to handcraft sculptural art nests from fibres, twigs and other found materials. Soon after, she opened her Love Nest Studio Gallery. In 2009, Tara was awarded a booth at the prestigious One-of-a-Kind Show in Toronto (Canada’s largest show for Fine Craft) by the Community Futures Development Corporation. Her sculptural nests were chosen to be the featured art of the show’s extensive advertising and promotional campaign.

Primarily self-taught, Tara has studied photography at Centennial College, Ryerson University and Sir Sandford Fleming College's Haliburton School of the Arts where she graduated with a diploma in Expressive Arts. She also has a diploma in Corporate Communications from Centennial College. Wilkinson has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions. Her work has been featured in newspapers and magazines, on television and radio. Tara’s photographs and sculptural nests are held in private collections world-wide.

Members of the year-round Prince Edward County Arts Trail since 2009, Tara and her husband, encaustic painter Andrew Csafordi welcome thousands of art lovers, buyers and collectors to their galleries year-round. In 2015, Tara & Andrew were recognized by the Prince Edward County Arts Council with a Business Excellence Award for their contribution to the Arts in their community. In 2018, they received Trip Advisor’s Certificate of Excellence as a 5-star rated destination.
