Tapa- a great champion of the visual world, enthusiastic for your own work and for the promotion of creative interests in others. I am always astounded at your productivity and wealth of visual record. Whilst your work is variable in approach, your 'style' is your own- identifiable, graphic and attention grabbing. The fine and decisive focus of your subject matter, appears far more elusive and alluring than its initial roots in the everyday and normalcy of its surroundings. One of my first contacts on flickr from back in 2007, Tapa has remained one of my constant 'travellers'. Her stream yields a fresh source of daily inspiration, and as others have commented, it is a "wild" and enjoyable ride indeed - never to be missed.

What is it that makes Tapa the remarkable artist that she is? Trick question, sorry...for it is the same quality that graces all great artists: an APPRECIATION for art. For all the talent that she so obviously possesses, it is her love and respect for the works of OTHERS that truly sets her apart. I can remember querying her for an invitation to 'bitches brew' with a feeling of trepidation, only to be welcomed with open arms into one of Flickr's finest groups. As I explored the myriad other groups the sight has to offer, it became immediately obvious that she is EVERYWHERE....supporting others, inviting new members, drawing inspiration, and, undoubtedly appreciating - being a FAN of art. The result of this dedicated, tireless input is one of the most prolific and consistently above-the -fold streams I've yet to encounter on Flickr. Her masterful use of the challenging square format is in a league of its own. The sophisticated compositions she constructs are elevated to an even higher plane by a range of palettes that offer everything from subtle, understated earth tones to bold, sensual, supersaturated reds, yellows, and greens in their rawest, high-impact forms. There is little else needs be said regarding her artistry. Indeed, words seem woefully inadequate...the work says it all. For all you do, Tapa....Thank You :-))
