Tamera Bedford

b. Colorado, U.S., lives and works Hong Kong, China

Tamera Bedford is a self-trained American abstract mixed media artist living and working in China. She is noted for the diversity found in her artistic practice, both materially and visually, and the varied nature of her subject matter. Her work turns to visual representation to capture her deep respect for environmental phenomena and beyond to biological life and mental flows of the human brain. By incorporating a foundation in both Eastern and Western design and aesthetics, the work she makes spans the micro-elements of natural networks and systems out to their superstructures built of exquisite flows, lines and patterns.

Tamera Bedford é uma artista americana autodidata de mídia mista abstrata que vive e trabalha na China. Ela é conhecida pela diversidade encontrada em sua prática artística, tanto material quanto visualmente, e pela natureza variada de seus assuntos. Seu trabalho se volta para a representação visual para capturar seu profundo respeito pelos fenômenos ambientais e além da vida biológica e fluxos mentais do cérebro humano. Ao incorporar uma base em design e estética oriental e ocidental, o trabalho que ela faz abrange os microelementos de redes e sistemas naturais até suas superestruturas construídas de fluxos, linhas e padrões requintados.

For many years I worked in the environmental field but I became depressed and disillusioned with what I saw happening around me. Since 2009 I’ve had the incredible privilege of being able to live and work as an artist in China, and have travelled extensively throughout Asia. My practice has allowed me to explore who I am in the world and learn about other cultures through exposure to their art. I’ve been able to keep the incredible people I’ve met, places I’ve been, and experiences I’ve had alive in my visual creations. For me art is life and life is art – there is no separation.

Por muitos anos trabalhei na área ambiental, mas fiquei deprimida e desiludida com o que via acontecendo ao meu redor. Desde 2009, tive o incrível privilégio de poder viver e trabalhar como artista na China e viajar bastante pela Ásia. Minha prática me permitiu explorar quem eu sou no mundo e aprender sobre outras culturas através da exposição à sua arte. Consegui manter vivas as pessoas incríveis que conheci, lugares que estive e experiências que tive em minhas criações visuais. Para mim, arte é vida e vida é arte – não há separação.
