Tiffany Bozic

From http://tiffanybozic.com/about-tiffany-bozic

Tiffany Bozic is a California artist who explores the natural world through her own metaphoric lens. Using fine attention to detail and the accuracy of Audubon, she makes paintings of exquisite beauty and rich meaning. As we begin to come to grips with what we have wrought of this Earth, her pictures place us squarely IN nature, very much part of it, not apart from it. Her animals are us, we are them. Bozic jokes that she was “raised by goats”, and that is not far from the truth: most of her youth was spent on a farm in rural Ohio. Now traveling worldwide with her daughter and ornithologist husband, she continues to expand her vision of what nature is, from gory to glory, from the minute to the mighty. Painting on sustainably harvested maple panels with thinned acrylics, she allows the wood’s grain to inform her celebratory compositions. Each piece requires but a few tablespoons of acrylic medium and pigments to execute, keeping her own ecological footprint small. For two decades, on both coasts, through many solo and group exhibits and two fine books with Gingko Press, Drawn By Instinct (2012) and Unnatural Selections (2019), Tiffany Bozic’s work has shown a continual light on how we need to treat each other, other species, and our planet itself.
