Meet Tiffany!

Creator of both public and private works, Tiffany Clark is a Dayton, OH native who has been painting murals for over the last decade, and a working artist for the last 20 years. Though she can create in a wide range of styles, her work has a signature whimsical loose illustrative quality. In the studio she creates private works with a more intimate feeling ranging in mediums from collage and print to ceramics. The main focus of her large scale work in the last several years has been community connection and beautification through public art. Through her pieces she has brought focus to issues such as su***de, opioid overdose,recovery, and mass tragedy. The purpose and belief is that public art makes a real change for the individuals in that space as well as the city as a whole. Living by her motto “paint the world you wish to see.”
