“Between the conception and creation, between the emotion and response, falls the shadow.”
- The Hollow Men by T.S. Eliot
This shadow that falls between conception and creation and emotion and response is filled with inspiration. This inspiration to create, inspiration to bring an emotion to the viewer, to gain a response. The inspiration that comes from the people that step into your life. Family, friends, colleagues, even people on the street. The people who catch your attention and love. The places that you go to, the traveling that you do, and, of course, the colors of life, the color the world brings, and the colorful people, places, and things bring. The interesting things in life that tend to inspire artwork. Through her art and photography, Tiffany tries to convey the essence of what inspires her in her work, to portray an emotion and the response through her photography and art. To in turn, inspire other people with her artwork and photography. Above all, to inspire people to believe that anything is possible.
Recently graduating from Chadron State College with a Bachelors of fine art with a studio option, Tiffany is currently seeking a Masters of Liberal Arts with a Concentration in Art through Fort Hays State University. She has already obtained an Associate of Arts from Western Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff Ne, her hometown. Homeschooled all through high school Tiffany was able to focus on art by taking private lessons with Jennifer Berge. Being homeschooled and pursuing art as a child allowed her to begin then teaching private lessons to kids after high school. Tiffany has shown in West Nebraska Art Center through various group shows, recently awarded “Best of Show” in Images 2013, 2nd place in the Focus Point Shape International Online Art Gallery Photography Competition. Along with the Western Nebraska Art Center she has shown at the Pinnacle Bank in Mitchell, NE, Gering Art Festival, Art in the Courtyard, Mobile Digital Art and Creative Summit 2014 show, and Focus Point Shape International Online Art Gallery. Tiffany has a studio in Gering, NE where she spends time teaching, creating, and experimenting.
