about Tammy Kushnir
Based in East Norriton, Pennsylvania
Tammy Kushnir is an abstract artist whose work explores the shifting landscapes of human emotion through color, form, and texture. Primarily working in acrylics, her paintings move fluidly between mood and memory, often grounded in the natural world yet unbound by literal interpretation. Her abstract landscapes and atmospheric compositions invite the viewer to enter a space that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.
Tammy’s process is intuitive and emotionally driven. “My process is fairly simple but sometimes unpredictable,” she says. “I often simply choose colors to paint with, and whatever comes about will then exist in the universe.” Her work, while occasionally containing physical manifestations—clouds, terrain, or other subtle environmental forms—is rooted in emotional response. These emotions are expressed either in the movement of the paint or the titles she gives her work, often inspired by the surrounding world.
“I often create to find joy within myself and hopefully extend that to others through colors and impressions of paint,” she explains. “I want to stimulate the viewer emotionally as well as through physical interaction with the texture in the art. When a piece resonates with a viewer, I know my job is done.”
Since shifting her focus to abstract painting in 2017, Tammy’s work has been exhibited in solo and group shows across the U.S., including at the Bower Center for the Arts in Virginia and The Banana Factory in Pennsylvania. Her paintings are held in private collections nationwide and have received awards for their emotional resonance and tactile complexity.
