Bio

Artist Tiffany Horrocks doing a live demo at the Ottawa Signatures show.

Tiffany’s career as an artist began in 2000 with a two year study in ceramics.  Immediately after, she sought out her own studio and soon found herself sharing an old warehouse with other ceramic and mixed media artists.     

She quickly found herself exploring sculpture.  Infused with a new passion,  she built a successful career as a sculptor specialising in Raku and mixed media pieces.

After 6 years working in that medium,  she began feeling stifled by the many restrictions of size, weight and colour inherent in ceramics. She began to explore mixed media acrylics as a textural and colour medium,  first as mixed media with her ceramics and then as painting.

Painting came very naturally to her and she soon found herself working and showing primarily as a painter.

Her current work is “painted” using pallette knives with thickly applied paints and gels.  (Classically known as “Impasto”)

She has exhibited acrylic paintings since 2007 and her unique approach to the medium is fluid and very physical. 

Today,  her impasto paintings continue to reach out to her scuptural roots, using high relief, depth, shadows and texture in their expression. She creates masterfully executed, visually stunning work;  stamping each colourful piece with her strong, trademark style.
