HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: TIFFANY DAE
“Starfish”
With each painting, artist Tiffany Dae has the opportunity to create a world that can challenge the influx of information presented by the media. Her process takes that everyday noise and transforms it into mindfully thought-provoking pieces. Through hours of processing media and compiling still images, digital studies are created and then transformed into realistic paintings.
Born in Hawaii to an Indian father and Cuban mother, Tiffany was spirited away from these magical lands before the age of eight to grow in the suburbs of Central Florida. Since then, she has had a fascination with visiting other realms. Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland and J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World have always made perfect sense to her.
She entered “Starfish” during High Art 2020 with the caption: Starfish is a postcard from another world featuring a beautiful creature that is both strong and magical. She lives where the sea and stars meet. Will you love or fear her?
