The Story Behind the Brush

Paintings that trade the pressure of perfection for the truth of a life fully lived.

I spent years in the relentless pursuit of excellence. I moved across the world to chase a dream as a professional dancer, balancing the grit of the stage with a clinical career as an Occupational Therapist. I believed that if I achieved enough in every arena, I would finally feel worthy of the space I occupied.

But true worth isn't earned by fitting a rigid mould—it’s found in owning the full depth of your journey.

My art is a reflection of this shift. I paint in deep, expressive layers, intentionally leaving glimpses of the raw underpainting exposed. These visible marks are not flaws to be covered up; they represent the past chapters, the grit, and the complexities that give the final piece its true depth.

Whether I am exploring my own experiences or translating a client's story onto canvas, my intention is always the same: to give the truth of a life—with all its messy, beautiful history—a permanent, physical space to be celebrated.

Honouring where you've been.

Owning where you are.

Celebrate where you're going.

Rhythm of the Tide

The entire commission from my perspective was effortless. Your professionalism and attention to detail made my purchase from the other side of the world feel safe, secure and easy. The painting arrive beautifully packaged and professionally presented, in perfect condition. We stood before the painting and just looked for a time in silence The longer we looked the more we could see. Being drawn into the story that it told. The depth that you created and the intricate detail literally had us tracing our fingers over it from one part of the story to the next as if walking down memory lane. His smile broadened with each new thing he discovered. Your skill Tash is to be admired. Your artwork I'm sure will bring much joy to many people all over the world.

Tash Bardot has painted me the most stunningly beautiful portrait. I am in total awe of her talent and the intention to detail she incorporated into this masterpiece. She has captured my expression and personality beautifully. Classic with a contemporary elegant twist, far exceeding my own vision. I am so pleased I trusted Tash’s judgment and style to create something so beautiful that will be treasured forever. I will definitely use Tash again for future commissions. Thank you so much!

Timeless Tides

Serene yet thought provoking

The painting has instant appeal. The attention to detail is magnificent from the precise script to the intricate petals of the flowers. There is a depth to the painting - a darkness & light - that evokes a sense of evolution, acceptance & serenity. Tash is a talented artist. I will continue to follow her work with interest.

Flowing Beauty

It Sparks Joy

This painting is captivating. The colours are vibrant yet serene. The juxtaposition between the still life flowers & the movement of the water. The darkness in the background gives the picture some gravity whilst the composition gives hope. So balanced with a beautiful energy. I love it!

Transcendent Waters Print

I absolutely adore this art work

I fell in love with "Transcendent Waters" the moment I saw it! It has this layered beauty to it that I find incredibly calming and majestic, and I am so excited to have a print of it in my home. It's such a joy to watch your art journey unfold. You can see and feel the heart, soul and passion you pour into every detail of your creations. Your art style is a stunning form of self-expression and story telling, and it's also such a wonderful reflection of the thoughtful, beautiful and inspiring person that you are. I cannot wait to see what else you create!

The Sound of Strength & Commission

I have two Tash Bardot pieces and love both of them. The first I got from her on commission as a present for my husband, and she really perfectly captured the elements of our relationship that I asked her to, all in her beautiful, modern style. That piece still hangs over our bed. I also recently purchased another piece that really spoke to me for the way it depicts musics and strength (two things that are very important to me). I really love Tash’s style and the way she brings out the concepts she is painting about so beautifully. I’m always proud to display them in my home!

Wild Heart, Gentle Soul

Absolutely in love with our new artwork "Wild Heart, Gentle Soul." This piece of art is beautiful and as soon as I saw it, I just knew I had to have it in our house. It is the second painting we have in our house by Tash and I am sure it will not be the last. The colour and phenomenal fine detail of the bear draw you in and make you fall instantly in love with it.

Commissions

I have three of Tash's paintings in my house and I love them! She is amazingly skilled; her paintings are beautiful and they evoke so many emotions. They make you reflect every time you look at them. I have bought paintings that she had already painted and I have commissioned pieces that she has painted. Both have been amazing. The commissioned pieces were completed really fast and the whole process was seamless. I would happily fill my house with her paintings.
