Tarli Bird

Since graduating with a Masters in Fine Art at Monash University in Melbourne Tarli has been exhibiting regularly around Australia.

Tarli is an artist inspired by a passion for travelling and exploring. Intuition guides the recreations of her surroundings- reimagining the built and natural environment with simple lines, colour, texture and patterns that extend the boundaries of representation.

With a deliberate application of acrylic, spray paint and embroidery, Tarli uses each layer of materials to represent the effects of human action on the natural environment. The first layer of acrylic paint suggests human influence, the second of spray paint suggests human influences and the third layer of embroidery indicates the impact of both natural events and urban developments on a landscape.
