Tarn was born and raised on Wiradjuri Country in Wagga Wagga, and now lives and works on Yorta Yorta Country between Shepparton and Cobram. She is just one of many in her family who paint, including her two children. Tarn joined Kaiela Arts in 2014 as an artist, and works across a range of mediums including painting, watercolour, drawing, and printmaking, and has also painted several murals around the region. She has worked closely with other Kaiela Arts artists to create ‘Yalka Lotjpa Nha’, a children’s Yorta Yorta language book. She uses her art to express her strong connection to country and family and her works have been featured in a number of arts fairs and exhibitions. You can read more about Tarn’s artworks in her artist bio.

 In 2023, Tarn took on a role as Front of House and Digital Communications Coordinator, and more recently has moved into a new Studio Manager role where she oversees our screen-printing practice, day to day studio operations, development of exhibitions and artist development initiatives.
