Taralee Guild is one of today’s most prolific contemporary painters. Her large-scale works have been widely acquired in private and public collections internationally. She is best known for her paintings of mid-century aluminum trailers, where reflective metal interrupts realism with distortion that stirs in the viewer a sense of formlessness and surrealist unease. Another important body of work is the ethereal cathedral forests, which serve as vessels of transformation—Rothkoesque but rooted in the vivid tradition of Canadian abstract landscape. Guild continues to experiment with new paintings that touch on themes of the figure, synesthesia, and celestial.

Shipping

Originals are shipped worldwide, in a wood crate or rolled. If a crate the original is bubble wrapped, and packed in with corner wedges. Opening the crate will require a screw driver. If rolled, the shipping address will be changed to your local professional framer and restretched there where it will either be delivered or picked up. Rolling is only done if expenses are considerable and the rolled method is an advantage - and you are involved in the decision.

In the unlikely event that your painting is damaged or lost, it will be repaired, refunded, or replaced at no expense to you. Also very unlikely, if the address is very remote and it is overly expensive to ship to, I may contact you about cancelling the order unfortunately.
