About

Tanya Lake is a photographer, writer and painter, based in Sydney, Australia.

With a practice that includes weekly landscape plein air sessions, along with live model sketching, both the landscape and portraiture are her passions, which transfer into all her art: still life’s, interiors and dreamscapes; images that include surrealist elements – an obsession with “Aussie noir”, with nightscapes and the nocturnal world – the moon, stars, the headlights of a Citroen Goddess car making its way through the desert… She is also interested in the lives of women and mothers and their emancipation through art and adventures. (The person driving the car across the desert may happen to be a mother having a little me-time, for instance!) With 2 daughters who love adventures, she loves seeing women (and humans in general!) find their passions and their freedom.
