Tiff Brown is a formally trained fine artist, muralist and illustrator who has maintained a thriving professional arts practice for more than 30 years. She has extensive experience collaborating on projects in the corporate, institutional and private sectors in Australia and overseas. In November 2007 Tiff held a highly successful solo sell-out exhibition, Still, at Solander Gallery, Canberra. In 2008 she was selected as a finalist in the Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW. Her solo exhibition Quiet Noise was also sold out.
Tiff won the 2016 Wollongong Art Gallery Contemporary Watercolour prize. The Judge Anne Ryan, Curator of Prints, Drawings and Watercolours at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, said of the winning painting, “…It’s an exceptionally well-made object but also a beautifully made object and a worthy winner of a prize dedicated to watercolour.’ She also commented that, ‘…(Tiff’s) use of the watercolour medium is virtuosic’ and that the work was, ‘…very exceptionally well-resolved…’
Recently Tiff has exhibited her work in Beneath the Surface at M16 Artspace in 2014, Impermanence at the Firestation Gallery Armadale, Melbourne in August 2015, and in the group show Memoria Platea at M16 Artspace in November/December 2016. In both 2017 and 2018 Tiff has opened her studio as part of The Design Festival Canberra, exhibiting work and holding floor talks.
Tiff is currently developing the on-line gallery Archive 555 with 2 other Australian artists, which will be launched late 2019.
