Houston-based artist TARA CONLEY works with metal, fiberglass, and a variety of other materials to create imaginative sculptures both large and small. Her focus on line and balance is evident in her sculptures, jewelry, and word art. She has made art installations for organizations such as The City of Houston and Texas Tech University. Her background in metalsmithing allows her to have control over the form of her works, letting her explore a dynamic range of original and organic shapes.
