ABOUT US
LOUD Art's Philosophy is derived from the founder of our organization, one of our artists, Tara Vahab.
Tara has been practicing visual arts for almost her entire life and received her first artistic award at age nine. However, she is interested in all forms of art and creative activities and has been practicing music, dance, drama and culinary in different stages of her life.
She does not merely believe but is aware that creative practices are one of the most effective and easy ways of preventive treatments for optimizing mental health and maintenance of emotional balance in life. Being an HSP, survivor of periodic anxiety and depression, her desire to help others and passion for creativity has lead her to do an extensive research on human psychology and psychoanalysis to find out the true purpose of arts and creativity. She is documenting results of her researches in her upcoming book "Self-Therapy Through Art & Creativity" where she concludes any form of art simply is a practice for positive psychology. Tara received her BFA from University of Calgary in 2015 not too long after which LOUD Art was founded. Her ultimate goal is to extend LOUD Art Society into an art and creativity centre where easier access to art and creative practices of any form is given to members of public.
