Tiffany Bozic was inspired by nature at an early age.  Her work digs into a profound and imaginative outlet of the world and nature.  She finds her art to be a therapeutic process in which she can find a way to connect with life and find sense in the world around her.  From November 2006 to 2007 she was a participant in the California Academy of Sciences Artist in Residence Program.  Her work has been shown in galleries all over the U.S. and Europe, and has been published in various magazines including the cover of Coast Magazine.

“The pieces are about the shared intimate feelings that many people feel that they are not able to articulate to one another.”  - Tiffany Bozic

This piece of art is one of fifteen from another art exhibit.  Here she uses examples from nature to help her express progressively involved emotions which elaborate her own symbolic language.  This work is a little reminder that we are nature, linked to everything.

The White Chalk painting illustrates crayfish falling from a cluster of other marina objects, such as sea shells, sand dollars and starfish.  All are depicted just above an endless sea.  I chose this piece to convey how the artist used softer and muted colors to depict the articles in the painting.  Bozic uses her artwork to express her emotions that she otherwise wouldn't be able to verbalize, as a result, I feel this work is expressing a subdued emotion for the viewer to recognize and grasp.
