Tara McPherson Studio Sale For Surgery

Tara McPherson is having a huge sale, here are the details in her words.

Hi everyone! We hope you all have been healthy, safe, and enjoying some outdoor fun. We have been pretty secluded up here in Beacon, and are just beginning to venture out a little bit more. Erica is back in the studio with proper distancing and safety measures, so it's feeling a little bit more back to normal which is so nice, even if we do have to facetime each other from different rooms!

As some of you may have read, next Monday (today) I will be undergoing some pretty major spinal surgery. Even though it's very heavy and quite personal, I realized it's important for me to share what I'm going through so I can hopefully be another voice for someone in need in the future. While I was researching my spinal issues and specifically this complete neck fusion that I need done, I found so little information on it, and so few people have shared their journey. Fortunately I found 2 extremely brave women who have openly shared their struggles and advice, and for that I am so thankful. I also want to thank everyone for their amazing and loving comments. It's supremely uplifting to read all of the positive notes, even if I am sporadically tearing up in between, they are tears of joy! I swear!

So, before I begin the long journey of recovery, I wanted to do a big studio release and put up a variety of prints to help raise some funds for all the upcoming hospital bills and such while I am out of work. If there has ever been a print you had your eye on, or wanted to get a sweet gift for someone, please take a look below! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- XO Tara

Tara McPherson Fractal Fountain Art Print

1xRUN are excited to welcome back one of their longest running 1xRUN artists Tara McPherson, who joins them to help raise awareness for the Flint Water Crisis, as she brings us Fractal Fountain as part of the 1xRUN Flint Water Crisis Print Suite! A portion of the proceeds from these editions will be donated to Flint Child Health & Development Foundation and the Michigan ACLU! Joining the likes of Robbie Conal, Shepard Fairey, Brandon Boyd, Ron English and Aiko 1xRUN couldn't be happier to offer Tara's latest release part of this series!

"I was just horrified when I heard about the people in Flint. It is completely unacceptable and those at fault need to be held accountable with some serious repercussions. That simply should not be happening in this day and age. Period.

It is extremely important for me as an artist to use my platform and artwork to help raise awareness for these issues. I wouldn’t say I’m a political artist, but to be able to use certain themes within my work that have parallels with our lives and be able to inspire a positive response is key.

This painting is definitely an evolution on the water concept I have been putting into some pieces lately, water flowing out of chests, characters submerged in water, etc. I painted this piece as a continued exploration with my fascination with water. Water as a cleanser, water as a source of life, water as a protector. I see her as a water deity and a helpful soul." - Tara McPherson

You have you choice of one that is 10 x 18 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper or the over sized 18 x 33 Inches Archival Pigment Print on 290gsm Moab Fine Art Paper.

These Timed Editions will be available until July 3rd 3pm EDT at which time the edition size will be closed to the number sold.

Faith No More Tara McPherson New York Poster Night 2 World Premiere Exclusive

New York city is getting ready for a second night of Faith No More and Tara McPherson did the poster for tonight's show once again. She said she had a lot of fun last night and looks forward to another get show tonight.

I asked Tara about the design of the poster:

i really love FNM. The show last night was SO awesome and I'm stoked to see them again tonight. The drawings for these are part of a series of images i’m working with that expand on aurora’s, energy, electromagnetism, bioluminescence, internal vs. external, science, and nature to create portraits of these powerful females I imagine exist in these alternate realms. When I was creating this I was thinking about particle physics and string theory, how these tiny subatomic particles are theorized to dance and not truly exist in one location. As well as the power we have with our thoughts and vision, I think it’s a fun idea to create a physical manifestation of thought… literally something coming out of one’s body, head or eyes. I’m trying to create women who are the goddess' of sorts for this idea. One can read a lot into this imagery in relation to the name ‘Faith No More’… I’m sure different people will see different things, and that’s awesome.

The regular edition poster is signed & numbered edition of 115, there will be around 100 at the show signed by the band. There is also a variant edition of 20 that is not foil.

Both posters will be available via Secret Serpents at 9:00 AM PDT on Saturday May 16th

I tried to create a woman who was the goddess of sorts for this idea.

I’m still exploring aurora’s, energy, electromagnetism, bio-luminescence, internal vs. external, science, and nature to create portraits of these powerful females I imagine exist in these alternate realms. " - Tara McPherson
