My name is Sara Davis, but I go by Chase, and I am the artist behind Lahar Arts. My specialty is acrylic on canvas and digital Abstract Expressionist paintings. As a pet sitter by day, I have also begun creating digital, psychedelic-themed pet portraits. The digital pieces are created from photos I capture of every day objects - from street lights to Brussels Sprouts. The paintings on canvas are often inspired by spiritual musings. The art of Jackson Pollock, as well as Willem de Kooning, inspired me to lay down my first canvas and paint some 17 years ago.
Tara creates abstract works with a variety of media including strips of dried acrylic paint she likes to call "palette trash." She uses this recycled material for entire works as well as collaging into acrylic and oil paintings rich with texture. An artist for more than three decades and former high school art teacher, Tara finds endless visual inspiration during walks in her historic Baltimore neighborhood.
