Artist Info
About Tassila
Tassila’s artistic impulse is to reflect on the palette and connectivity of colours, the mood, and lighting before she chooses a topic to paint. This unusual development means she sometimes will select an actual image as a subject, while other times preferring an abstract direction. Her paintings are generally inspired by nature; the forests, mountains, grasslands, and oceans, they are not just scenery but the wellspring of her art, and the constant tumultuous beauty of her surroundings guides her life as a working artist in British Columbia.
Her main composition is contemporary, focusing on nature, with a play of the abstract. She primarily paints with acrylic and some mixed media.
All canvases are professionally crafted locally and can be custom sized. She welcomes commissioned work, and has experience working with interior designers, architects, builders, and real estate agents.
Contact Tassila for more information or look at her works at various businesses, galleries, and restaurants in the Okanagan and Whistler, BC.

Original Art
All sales are final. I am not able to accept returns of original paintings. If you are unsure of the size or colours of an artwork and want to be able to visualize it in your space, please contact me for assistance. I will do my best to create a visual mock-up of the painting in your room so you can purchase with confidence. If you live in the the Okanagan area, a viewing of original art in your home can be arranged upon request. Fees are associated with this service if it is more than a half hours distance from my studio. Please feel free to contact me for details.
Shipping Methods
Artwork can be shipped via wooden crate, which can be costed out or the canvas can be taken off the frame and sent in a tube package. If the latter is chosen the customer will have to have a new frame made and the canvas stretched, some art work may be lost in the stretching process. Shipping costs for both methods can be calculated prior to the ship date, the buyer is responsible for all shipping and packaging costs.
