Tara Nova
Tara Nova is a drag artist from St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. After launching her drag career in 2021 in Newfoundland’s growing scene and becoming one of the most prominent performers in the region, she most recently competed on Canada's Drag Race season 5. During her time on CDR, Tara made national and international headlines by being a vocal advocate for fair pay for drag performers in her home city.
A self-taught seamstress, Tara excels in designing and creating intricate costumes that meld inspiration from drag culture, high fashion, and lived experience as a queer, rural Newfoundlander. She also emphasizes bold, dynamic makeup styles and thematic performances that have captured audiences in her relatively short but outstanding drag career.
