Style: abstract, textural compositions
Technique: mixed media on canvas, jute

In her artistic practice, Tamasine McNabb explores balance and harmony through carefully considered compositions where color, texture and material interact. Long drawn to the calming presence of the sea, painting offers her a place to wander through imagination and emotion. Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics, as well as their close relationship with nature, remain a central source of inspiration, shaping works that feel calm, grounded and timeless.

Tamasine McNabb, various works


Tamasine builds abstract compositions through layering and experimentation with mixed media. Warm tones, organic shapes and beautifully imperfect textures gradually emerge, creating surfaces that feel both tactile and serene. Her works often balance structure and fluidity, where soft transitions meet more defined forms.
Drawing on her background in interior design and her fascination with craft, she works with materials that already carry their own beauty, such as raw canvas, rice paper, cotton paper, hemp linen and recycled cotton. Acrylic paint and oil sticks are layered, sometimes combined with sand to introduce depth and texture. Overpowering colours do not appear; her palette is instead grounded in nature, consisting of warm, earthy tones.
Often beginning with loose sketches, layers of texture are built onto the canvas until harmony emerges. Some pieces tell a personal story, while at other times the process is more intuitive, a sudden creative impulse that needs to find its way onto the canvas.



Tamasine is especially passionate about creating pieces that complement and complete a space—art that feels integrated rather than incidental. Through every encounter with her work, she hopes to create a sense of calm: a quiet yet meaningful presence.
