Tammy Harper likes to “paint colors,” regardless of the medium. Some paintings are purely abstract forms on paper with sensuous brushstrokes that show textures and color.  Other paintings and drawings depict her continuous passion for music, particularly the Motown genre of the 60’s and 70’s.

Some of Ms. Harper’s favorite Motown recording artists include Diana Ross, Jackson Five, Marvin Gaye, and The Temptations.  She will often find photographs of these and other recording artists from the Internet and then turn them into jewelry or collages.

At age 22, Harper graduated from a transitional program at Contra Costa Junior College and came to NIAD five years later in 1994.  Ms. Harper works on her art five days a week.
