Artist Statement:
Tamara Natalie Madden was born
in St. Andrew, Jamaica and
raised in Manchester,
Jamaica—a place that many
refer to as the “bush.” It
was during her childhood in
Manchester that Madden was
exposed to her first artistic
influences. As an early
reader, Tamara spent most of
her days reading children’s
books and found herself
enthralled by the colorful
illustrations. Her uncles, who
were Rastafarians, played an
important role in her artistic
development as well. At age 5,
she remembers seeing pencil
drawings that her uncle
created. She was fascinated
and remembers trying to
understand how he could create
something from nothing. Her
uncles were also amazing
sculptors, sculpting beautiful
carvings from scrap wood. In
that same year her uncle Carl
taught her how to sharpen her
pencils with a machete. From
that point on, she decided
that she would be an artist.
Tamara has always loved
literature and spent most of
her teenage years reading and
writing poetry and short
stories. Her vivid imagination
and memories would play a
major role in her future
artistic creations. She won
her first art award at age 14
and found inspiration from a
summer school art teacher, who
believed in her...
