Tara Good's journey has been internalized into intangible souvenirs. Her paintings may remind the viewer of a shaft of misty sunlight on a slick seawater or a dense fog that envelops your face or a cluster of trees shimmering jade over a field or the blue and metallic of industrial effluence that play against a cloud cover.

Light becomes as solid as land here in Good's world and the border between earth and sky is often smudged out, confused; as if your walk through the canvas may carry you off into the clouds. Don't expect a travelogue – a trip to the country – from Good's paintings.

The painting is both the answer and the question, or rather, the invitation to viewers to do their own traveling and collect their own souvenirs. They are places where you haven't been or seen, but where you could have gone, maybe did, sometime ... once a long time ago. Or maybe someone just told you about it. Or perhaps you just dreamed it.

Coastal Antiques & Art writer Allison Hersh says, “Good demonstrates an uncanny mastery of form, texture and composition in her abstract paintings. Based in Clyo, she crafts large-scale abstracted landscapes that seem to focus upon the subliminal juncture between sky and earth, exploring the silent intersection between atmospheres, environments and realities.”

Good's landscapes will never be an oversight in a lobby or a dull distraction to an otherwise dull interior. Her work engages us: A moment of our time, to carry us away into our own experiences and walk through our own distant vistas.
