Tamar's earliest inspiration came from the colour in textiles, jewellery and architecture in the Israeli Jewish and Islamic environment where she grew up. That had a profound influence on her jewellery and silverware.

She draws on the rich history and tradition of the art of enamelling. Her interest in ceremony, both personal and public, has led her to create a collection of Jewish and Christian ritual objects. Recent commissions have allowed her to take that history and tradition in new directions.

Fusing her own photographs of trees in her garden on copper vessels to explore ideas about climate change led her to discover how contemporary techniques could express socially relevant ideas in an ancient medium.
