Description
One of the most talented artists of hers or any other generation, Tiffany Bozic combines a deep love of nature and the diversity of life with a self-taught technical prowess that is unmatched. While she paints almost exclusively on wood, building up thin washes of paint layer by layer, her work almost appears subtractive as if she is removing the veils that conceal the inner workings, exposing the raw and the intimate. Her long anticipated follow up to Drawn by Instinct, Unnatural Selections chronicles the period from the birth of her daughter in 2012 to the present, exploring new themes such as reproduction, growth and parenthood alongside her ongoing search for universal commonalities between human beings and other living organisms. Along the way, entirely new species emerge from the tip of her brush to inhabit a world with others no less strange for their evolutionary path to existence. Prepare to be amazed anew at the work of this extremely gifted artist as she explores the animals inside all of us. Unnatural Selections also comes with a print to be framed.

About the Author
Tiffany Bozic is a California artist whose work has been described as John James Audubon on acid. Her work evokes the tradition of tightly rendered nature illustration, which she explodes with playful colors and surreal sensibilities. With her ornithologist husband and school-aged daughter, Bozic spends significant time in wild places. She is the illustrator of picture books Trees and Brave Baby Hummingbird.
Reviews
"The natural world gets an unusual interpretation through the lens of Northern California-based painter Tiffany Bozic. She combines a highly developed realism with surreal juxtapositions of animals and plants in carefully composed paintings that question the 'natural order' of the environment." - Colossal
"Bozic has spent a career illuminating and delicately painting animals and nature in an original hybrid that has both the scientific accuracy and almost storybook narrative that is both approachable and abstract... as a viewer, you not only get mesmerized by the animals and settings, but you begin to feel an urgency to not only hold onto these environments in real life, but just how connected you start to become wanting to save the planet. That magical feeling as a child becomes a beloved desperation to maintain our connection to Mother Nature." - Juxtapoz
