About the Item
Red and pink toned abstract contemporary portrait painting by Houston, TX artist Saralene Tapley. This work features a young woman rendered in warm tones set against a rich, green background. Unframed but framing options are available. Signed by the artist at the back.
Artist Biography: Saralene Tapley is an Irish-American artist. Tapley had just recently moved back to Houston, TX upon the completion of her MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She had previously lived in London and in Dublin for her BFA studies at Dublin’s National College of Art and Design. She had also completed her Masters's Degree in Humanities at the University of Houston - Clear Lake.
Saralene’s childhood, as she would describe it, was “very colorful.” She lived in the United States until she was eleven, and then moved to Taiwan and Korea where she fin-ished secondary school. She had made quite a few friends, who she still faithfully keeps in touch with, from all over the world.
Coming from a tight-knit family with four siblings, her brothers have been her best patrons. Her only sister, Ciarah, can be seen as a subject in Saralene’s triptych included in Encounters: A Retrospective, an exhibition currently on view at Reeves Art + Design in Houston, TX. Her family plays a vital role in her art-making. At one point, her works hung in a Montreal wine bar owned by her older brother, Matthew. Ciarah and her younger brother serve as both her collectors and critiques.
She attributes most of her interest in art to her parents who have been very encouraging of her art career despite its many known challenges. Most of my training as a child came from her mother who hails from Wisconsin and is a very talented artist and teacher. She spent most of my childhood watching her draw portraits of local families and taking art classes. Her father, on the other hand, is a skilled carpenter and engineer from Dublin, Ire-land, and has hung her paintings and has done framing for her numerous paintings.
Tapley’s works can be seen in various places such as various hotels and restaurants in her hometown of Dublin, Ireland.
Saralene Tapley takes pleasure in the arts in a way that enables her to reinvent her craft over time. She takes interest in learning various mediums that further her artwork and her excellent talent in capturing what is essential in all of her subjects.
