Bio

Tara Shorey grew up on the Coast of Maine where she learned to fish through all four seasons. Her deep understanding and relationship to Nature has been the source and Inspiration that she draws upon for her paintings, photography and designs.

Being a creative intuitive counselor, massage therapist and artist, Tara is able to connect with people on deep soulful levels. Tara was led to train as a massage therapist at age 22. For 20 years she has developed a successful practice called Sculpting Bodies to Wellness. Her healing arts practice has let her down a path supporting her work with Doctors, Lawyers, Business Professionals, Artists, Famous Musicians and Athletes, Children, Teens and Elderly as well as Supporting many Women through their Pregnancy.

Doing Bodywork led her to the moving body and exploring the interwoven connections of Dance, Song, Art and Spirit. Her fervent desire to immerse herself in these modalities motivated her to leave the East Coast for California in early 2000. Tara studied Gabrielle Roth’s 5 Rhythms dance method at the Moving Center School in Mill Valley while simultaneously being enrolled in an interdisciplinary 5 yr Fine Arts Program at the College of Marin. Eager to refine and deepen her experience she began an apprenticeship with an internationally known painter, (Paramount Pictures) who helped her to find new techniques and to embrace abstract art as well as encouraged her to stay in her creative innoscense.
Her work with Sound-Movement Integration in at The Institute for Indigenous Arts provided a homecoming for Tara who became one of their teaching staff in 2008. Tara found outlets for her spirituality, art, movement/sound intergration and finding new ways of combining them, such as collaborative cross-genre approach to creating contemporary Live Painting Art and Music performances.
Tara’s work was featured in Conscious Dancer magazine in the Fall of 2009. And Common Ground Magazine in 2017 Some of her collaborations have taken place at Grace Cathedral Church, The Temple San Francisco, Isis Oasis in Northern CA, Visionary Art show Black Rock City, San Francisco
