Artwork Description

I love exploring the highs and lows of Love - which is relatable to all living creatures. Mostly bold brush strokes in oil encompassing a messy sense of abandonment and freedom, always guided by heart and intuition. Which is an ironic creative contrast to my dance career and the never-ending quest of striving for perfect lines.
My colourful carefree life translates through vibrant marks on canvas, allowing inner emotions and essence to shine through with complete transparency.
Each piece is always paired with a tender heart story, some tying in my past days dancing in Paris, others from the present & and some from the unknown future…
I’m forever grateful l can capture the same expressive feelings from dancing, to writing a heartfelt prose, to painting on canvas, and would like to explore combining the three disciplines simultaneously in the near future.

Artist Bio

Soul Stories are creative insights into the life experiences of Tams - which has naturally evolved into something more than art, inspiring others to a more mindful, beautiful and compassionate way of living.

Soul Stories capture the sensitive and vulnerable pieces of your soul, allowing you to remember how every ingrained and forgotten moment can be turned into something beautiful to feel… Stories that are full of love and magic which fills us up to the point of almost bursting at the seams – along with the moments that nearly break your heart in half, all softened by gentle swirls of bright colours and whimsical Soul Stories creatures…
Self-taught & continuously adding feathers to her cap, Tams tends to play with every kind of medium she can get her hands on, favouring watercolours, soft pastels, and oils.
She also has created a unique and personalised experience called ‘Tailor Made Soul Stories’ which is sort after by many…

Her sincere hope is that of the hundreds of stories she's created, perhaps one will reach into your heart and give it a gentle squeeze – that just one will remind you how you might feel and perhaps open you up to some of the special moments in yours or someone else’s life that can so easily be forgotten.

After a professional dance career overseas, Tams returned to Australia and now spends time between her childhood home in Heyfield, her much-loved City of Melbourne & spontaneous road trips along the east coast of Australia. Known as the ‘Random Arts of Kindness’ girl, she’s a quiet soul at heart, with not a lot to say unless it really means something true. With her colourful dance experience and the way she is able to project emotion, love, line and beauty, Tams is able to continue such artistry through her parallel Soul Stories passion. Wherever she wanders, Tams continues to be inspired by beautiful souls and their incredible stories…

“I believe that a better, brighter future is made possible by becoming more aware of our hearts, our feelings and by practising more empathy and compassion.
We learn so many wonderful things on life’s journey but from what l have listened to, learned and shared, it seems we are sometimes overlooking the importance of reflecting and reaching into our real selves and stepping into other peoples shoes. My dream is for Soul Stories to be part of connecting us all: to be sincere, to be open, to be vulnerable, to be trusting, to simply be true…”
