BIO
Tiffani Love is a painter originally from Northern New York, currently based along Ireland's west coast in County Clare. Her artistic process involves walking through the landscape and observing it directly from life, documenting these experiences on location through photography, video, and sketches. These solitary walks through the terrain open up space to reflect on the sensorial experience of the locations, which is then paralleled by the physical act of making oil paintings in the studio.
Tiffani received her BFA in 2017 from SUNY Plattsburgh and her MFA in 2022 from the Burren College of Art and NUI Galway. She has exhibited her work in multiple solo and group shows, most recently her MFA degree exhibition t i e d at the Burren College of Art Gallery. She has appeared in Tír na nÓg Literature/Art Magazine and ZPlatt Literary/Arts Journal.
Tiffani lives and works in Ballyvaughan, County Clare, Ireland.
