Writing portfolio
I have been writing criticism and non-fiction pieces for indie and prominent media, with a focus on the arts, class and environment, since 2017.
My writing has been published by Archer Magazine, Art Almanac, Artling, Arts Review Australia, Artshub, Australian Book Review, Beat Magazine, Betches, Jewish Telegraph Agency, Little White Lies, Mamamia, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Metro Magazine, Peril Magazine, Plinth, Thailand Tatler, Radio France Internationale, Zee Feed, among others.
I am also Art Editor over at the Suburban Review and a journalist with Radio France Internationale. I sometimes also write exhibition essays for galleries and artists, and offer copywriting services for the arts industry.
For me, though, reading > writing. I send out arts reading lists every month in my newsletter sticky teeth. Pls subscribe <3

Tahney is an extremely talented writer. Her interview process was fun, inspiring and she was genuinely committed to understanding and honouring my artwork. The result was an absolutely stunning artistic response. I look forward to working with Tahney again.
It’s been a pleasure to have [worked with] Tahney on a podcast episode. She is very knowledgeable about contemporary art and cares about people’s practices. She is professional and highly organized and her research into my practice was insightful and considerate.
I truly recommend working with Tahney. She has worked very deeply to understand and capture in words the essence of my work [in an artist statement]. Without a doubt, the process of working with her has helped me gain a clearer vision of how to present my work.
I never could have written with such objectivity about myself.
It's an absolute pleasure working with Tahney as a social media producer. As someone who has always wanted to work with a content specialist in the arts arena, Tahney has been a godsend. She's very professional and knows exactly how to approach the artistic world and cater to the audience. Tahney's attention to detail and delivery skills on the scope of work is commendable and I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future.
Tahney is definitely a word artist, a truly empathic and committed professional. Based on my idea and brief she moulded a beautiful description for my artwork to apply for multiple festivals. Highly recommended!!
Tahney has been working with myself and Neighbourhood Media on an ongoing basis. She is an extremely talented writer, and works very efficiently, often making herself available to help me create journalism content on very tight deadlines. I would recommend Tahney for a huge scope of work.
I just read your article again as I uploaded it, and have such a warm smile on my face. It's just masterful and I really mean that.
I am pleased and impressed by the beauty of Tahney’s writing style. The documents she worked on with me in the lead up to my EP release are incredible! I am very happy with the elements that she chose to include as well as with the way she chose to write about them. I love the rhythm and flow of the texts also: the narrative and dynamics within were stunning, and the way she crafted sentences really impressive. I feel lucky to have worked together!
