Tamara Tarasiewicz was born in 1950 in Hajnówka, Poland. She began painting in 1988.

From 1994 to 1997, she successfully ran a private gallery in Białowieża.

In 1991, she applied for membership in the Polish Association of Artists and Painters (PZAP). The referring member, M. Anto, remarked, "I see an astonishing talent for color in her works." Meanwhile, M. Wołkowycki noted, "The explosion of creativity in her paintings is a pure phenomenon of human possibilities," adding, "admitting her as a member would bring us the honor of nurturing such an extraordinary talent." Unfortunately, her application was not accepted by the PZAP, hindering her from showcasing her art professionally in Polish galleries.

As a result, in 1997, she emigrated to the United States. Bill Greiner, an art professor, discovered her talent and wrote, "Tamara – Your work is excellent… Your painting without drawing and planning is so beautiful. May you find success in the United States." Soon, her art gained recognition among the American public and art decision-makers.

She has held approximately 130 exhibitions in many countries worldwide. Among the most significant are her 13 exhibitions in prestigious Manhattan galleries, including the Borough President's Gallery.
