Dive into the art filled worlds of 12 extraordinary women, and use that inspiration to generate your own unique art
What if there was a way to be inspired by other artists that went beyond simply copying them?
What if you could take that inspiration and use it to expand, develop, and strengthen your own distinctive art?
Â
There is, and you can.
I have a lot more options
âI feel as though I have a lot more options available to me with regards to style and I have a much better idea of how to abstractify my art. I was so tired of copying other artists and trying so hard to get it perfect, and now I donât have to anymore and Iâm happy about that.â
Carol Gey van Pittius
You know how sometimes you're standing in front of a blank canvas, and it's like ... đŚđŚÂ đŚ ?
(Those are crickets, in case that's not clear!}
Or you're drooling over that artist's work you love, and wishing you'd made it, and then your next piece looks suspiciously like theirs?
Or how sometimes you try out copying what they've done just to see what it feels like, but then you don't know how to make it your own?
Yeah, me too.
It feels so frustrating.Â
Especially when you don't know how to 'fix' it and
get on with making art in a way that feels true to you.
Â
Artist Inspired IIÂ shows you how you can take inspiration from those artists you love by...
Immersing yourself in the work of a diverse mix of female artists from past and present
Exploring their ideas and techniques
Playing and experimenting to your heart's content
... and giving you guidance to use what you learn to develop the unique voice of your own art.
Already got my money's worthÂ
"Just watched the first real lesson and feel I already got my money's worth...and I haven't started painting yet! Your research and organization of all the material is priceless. Can't wait to really begin."Â
Connie Rose

About Your Guide
I'm Tara, your friendly artist, author, teacher, and creative encourager. đ
I have been where you are, many times!
Iâve lost touch with my connection to inspiration and Iâve found my way back, and continue to do so.
Iâve also found myself tangled up in the fine line between inspiration and being heavily influenced by another artist, and not knowing quite whatâs mine.
We all have a unique energetic signature that comes through in our art and makes it uniquely recognisable, if we're prepared to keep at it.
It can be very easy to lose track of that however, with all the inspiration around us, and our curious artist minds constantly at work!
This course is about harnessing and expanding on that inspiration, so you can become ever more familiar with whatâs truly yours about your art, and develop it into something distinctive and consistent, while exploring the legacy of those who've gone before us.
Â
With Artist Inspired II Iâve combined my love of art history and some of my favourite women artists with a range of approaches and ideas to jump start and develop your art!
So much inspiring and useful teachingÂ
âI love how you fit in so much inspiring and useful teaching in a way that is simple & clean â and therefore visually digestible online. Your presence and humor comes through wonderfully in your work & video commentary, in a way keeps us focused on the art.

Well set out and easy to use
"Just wanted to say how well set out and easy to use the course is! Great idea with you painting with their influences too!
I'm loving the Marlene Dumas, bit, she's been an idol of mine for a while! It's inspired me to get back to inks and simplify my sometimes overworked paintings! Thank you."
