Hi! I'm Tamara and I am a qualified visual artist with fifteen plus years experience exhibiting in various mediums such as film, collage, photomontage, painting and installation. I hold a BA in Visual Art (2008) and an MPhil in Cultural Studies (2018), both from the University of the West Indies.
Some time ago, I took my brand new personal computer to be upgraded with Adobe Suite and other programs vital to my artmaking process, at a seemingly reputable computer store in a mall in Trinidad. I collected it a few days later and paid the guy for the job. He turned on the machine in the store and showed me the newly installed programs. A few days later, while working on a project, the PC completely crashed. Not lomg after, I returned to the store only to find that it was closed down permanently and that there was no way of contacting this man. I had been scammed, and I felt cheated and frustrated. I took the laptop to a computer repairs technician who was able to determine that the new battery and hard drive had been switched out for old ones, and that is why my computer crashed and I lost a lot of my work. I have sinced resorted to an old laptop that I borrowed from someone. I've been making do somewhat with it but it is incapable of performing for the level of work I do. I cannot install the programs I need for my projects as outside of the rudimentary programs, it is a very slow and unreliable machine.
I have been working otherwise to try and save money for a new PC but truly, this has proven an insurmountable challenge thus far. I have a family and immediate expenses that require all of my hard earned financial resources. Time has just been going by and I am unable to work properly. This is why I have decided to create a campaign here: to obtain a reliable laptop specifically for my artistic work. Your sponsorship will allow me to work efficiently again and move forward in my artistic career.
I am currently producing a series of short film collages, and it is no longer possible for me to advance without a proper laptop. In return for your support, anyone that contributes $150 TT or more, will receive a free artwork print from me in the mail or in person. Please contact me; I am happy to send you the artwork as a gesture of my sincere appreciation. Thank you for assisting me to get back on track with my work.
Contributors can go to my IG accounts @tamaratamc and @thelotusbloomhome to see some of my work and to contact me for your gift of an artwork print. Thank you!
