Tania Heben

Above all other artists in the region no one has captured Port Douglas and the Far North’s essence like Tania Heben. Cane farm landscapes, the Sunday markets, mangoes and iconic Queenslanders are just some of her subjects.

Tania is proficient in all mediums, she loves the sensuality and richness of using oil paint above all others. It usually takes some months for her to complete a painting because of the slow process of drying and curing each layer of paint, so she usually has several paintings in a series in progress at any one time.

Many artists avoid commissions but that is not Tania’s style. As her fame has spread, the bulk of her work has become commissioned. Because her style is so distinctive, clients have a good idea of how the finished work will look.

Tania is an original founding member of the Port Douglas Artists Inc. and a contributing artist in the Port Douglas Art Gallery.
