TAMARA LAPORTE
Tamara Laporte \(‘willowing’\) is a creative catalyst of thousands of beautiful people. She is a celebrated mixed media artist, author and art teacher who has been running her creative business since 2008. Her work can be described as ‘mixed media folk art’ with a focus on ‘magical realism’. It ranges from whimsical children’s illustrations to a more stylised fantasy art. Love, mystery, innocence, hope, spirituality, kindness and self-connection inspire her art work. Symbolism and layering play a big part in her work. Her paintings often contain healing themes, uplifting messages and inspirational poetry.
She believes that the act of creating art can be a gateway into healing and personal growth – often, her art classes contain an element of self development as well as learning art techniques. She is deeply devoted to helping people get in touch with their creative fire and would love to help YOU too to get in touch with the artist in you!
Tam is the inventor and creator of Life Book, a year long art course that includes some of the most celebrated mixed media and personal development teachers out there. Since its inception it’s been joined by over 29,000\+ people who’ve gained great artistic and personal skills through it.
Deeply passionate and caring for the well-being of the world and its people, Tam works tirelessly to bring uplifting, nourishing, creative and empowering content to her amazing tribe of over 57,000\+ souls.
She lives in the South of England with her two wonderful boys Dylan & Elliot, 4 dogs and her rock of a husband Andy.
