About Tamara Dunn
Biography
Welcome to my website. As an artist and journalist, I appreciate what words and images do and how people react to them. Whether it’s a headline or a photo gallery, viewers and readers are influenced by all the things that they see. I incorporate this thinking into my work.
I’m a native New Yorker who grew up in the South. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wake Forest University, majoring in Studio Art and minoring in Mathematics and Art History. According to mathematicians, I enjoy the best of both worlds, but my fellow artists think I’m insane. I just like using both sides of my brain.
