Here’s a recap video of what I saw at her gallery show in February, featuring her color pencil art:
”Tiffany (a.k.a. Tiffy) specialises in illustration| design| art. Equipped with 20 years of traditional art training and practice, Tiffy has built a strong foundation in understanding rudimentary modes of creation and having an eye for details. Her professional experience as Senior Barbie Designer at Mattel has enabled her to push the boundaries of her artistic practice by exploring diverse lifestyles and experiences from adventure-filled travels. Tiffy mixes commercial values with artistic touches, intertwining the contemporary with the traditional; a meld of realism and surrealism.
Travelling have definitely helped enrich Tiffy's life, allowing her to appreciate it with a curious mind, observant eyes and a grateful heart. This is represented in her artworks, many of which use colour pencils. To Tiffy, the medium conveys the dedicate yet glorious nature of life.
Identifying with the Teochew culture - of a dialect community which can be found in all corners of the world - she continues to live in and travel to different cities. Born and raised in Swatow, worked in Hong Kong and now currently living in Singapore with her family, these 3 cities serve as important milestones in her life."
