Tamar Assaf, an artist, resides in California’s Bay Area since early 2000. Tamar was born in Israel, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree in Natural Sciences. Since her move to California Tamar is devoting her time to create art. In her work she combines her travel experience with her observation and fascination with animal concepts, investigating our acquired perception of animals in comparison to reality. Tamar's artwork is her way of documenting the loss of animals from the wild.
