TAMARA ZIBNERS

Tamara Zibners looks at the fleeting period of time during early motherhood when she and her child are physically connected. She transforms photographs into digital drawings, recognizable as domestic snapshots, but cartooned and degraded. The resulting body of work is at once disorienting and familiar, grotesque but tender.

Tamara Zibners was born in Carmichael, California. In 2004 she received her BA in Fine Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz. In 2011 she received her MFA from the University of New Mexico. She is currently in her studio or caring for her child at the Roswell Artist In Residence compound in Roswell, New Mexico.
