Tammy Kushnir

Tammy Kushnir has been an artist her whole life. She finds her passion in her creations. She originally studied art history at Temple University with the intention of working in an auction house.  Instead she decided to stay home with her children and raise them shortly after getting married.  While staying home with them, she discovered a  love of mixed media art.  Having only drawn her whole life, working with various objects to create keepsake boxes and book art was an amazing challenge and helped get her into many publications and write two crafts books.  As her boys got older, she began going back to drawing and  introducing painting to her 
palette as she created digital art. She began working with various licensing companies. 
 
In 2017, she got serious about painting after visiting Alaska. Painting mainly animals, she has now expanded that to abstract landscapes vacillating from dark to light. While working   mainly in acrylics,  she also enjoys going back to the roots of mixed media, incorporating, ink, colored pencils, modeling paste, and other textures into  some of her creations. 
Her artwork has  won awards and has been seen in various brick- and -mortar and online gallery shows. 
She is currently represented by J.Nunez Gallery in Summit, New Jersey, M & H Custom Framing and Gallery in Warminster, PA , JRB Art at the Elms in Oklahoma , Wilde Meyer Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona,  Joseph Gierek Fine Art in Tulsa,Oklahoma, Bonfoey Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio, Aeon Gallery in Richmond, IL , Michael Murphy Gallery in Tampa, Florida and  Graphite Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana. She resides in East Norriton, PA
