Tara Sellios is a multidisciplinary artist working mainly in large-format photography and also in drawing, sculpture, and installation. Since receiving her BFA in photography/art history in 2010, she has exhibited both locally and nationally. Recent solo exhibitions include her first solo museum show, Ask Now the Beasts at Fitchburg Art Museum (Fitchburg, MA), Infernalis at Gallery Kayafas (Boston, MA), Sinuous at C. Grimaldis Gallery (Baltimore, MD), and Testimony at Blue Sky Gallery (Portland, OR). Her work is part of several permanent collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Photographic Art @ San Diego Museum of Art, The Danforth Museum, and the RISD Museum. Her visceral, highly detailed photographs are intensely planned and process-oriented, often using organic matter like animal skeletons and real, dried insects.  Living and working in her South Boston studio, she uses an 8×10 view camera to photograph these arrangements, which result in dramatic, painterly still-life photographs wrought with sensuality, lightness, and darkness, and religious symbolism.
