Hi, I’m Tiff!
I have been an artist and maker for a few decades now and received a BA in Art/Sculpture. I have always loved experimenting with any and every material, but I always come back to fabrics/fiber arts. So, I have finally narrowed down my focus to creating these characters that got me started when I was a young teenager— only now with a little more finesse.
My general process starts with a vague idea that allows me to make a form. That form usually turns into another thing. Then I tweak and twirl, add and subtract, agonize and laugh. Once I see what is happening— I go with what it was always meant to be!
“Stuffed Animal” Series: I love animals and nature. However, as a material girl (hah!), I struggle with accumulating too much stuff. The “Stuffed Animal” series is a way for me to face my tendency for consumption and overabundance and how these traits can negatively effect the natural world. It’s a series that combines my love for creating animal forms, but allows me to add abstraction by incorporating various materials and scraps in an interesting way. It is a series that I will work on in tandem with my more experimental pieces.
Right now, I have limited time for commissions, but if you are really wanting something specific, feel free to message me and we will talk!
I am a mom to a rambunctiously awesome 3 year old, and a wife to a geekily amazing 39 year old. We live in the greater Sacramento area.
