I am an artist hailing from the beautiful Pacific Northwest, My work has been exhibited across Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California, reflecting the rich tapestry of life and color that this region offers.

I’m now retired (in the loosest sense of the word) and able to indulge my artistic roots by pursuing the fine arts, with an initial focus on fine art photography. I especially love panoramic photographs, which intrigue me. But, I’ve also returned to working in pencil, creating drawings to incorporate on the matting of my photographs. 

For me, inspiration comes from light, color and texture. It could be a flower I found along the way or a landscape that makes me think ‘what if.’ I enjoy making art that is fun and beautiful as well as paintings that, I hope, speak their truth a bit more.

Tiffany Hansen was born and raised in the beautiful Inland Northwest. From a young age, she has had a passion for nature and a desire to capture the beauty of the outdoors. While creating a photo, her main objective is to convey how the moment made her feel versus just showing what she saw.

As an artist, I enjoy getting lost in the details of whatever I’m creating. While not a ‘hyper-realist,’ I prefer to work in a tight, realistic style using colored pencils, pastels, graphite and charcoal. My pieces may take many hours (or days, or weeks) to complete, but I find the process to be quite meditative. And the end result, in my mind, is worth the time and effort.

I have always loved color and being outdoors! Art classes in school led me to college at Ball State University in my home state of Indiana. I started out in interior design then switched majors and graduated with a degree in Art Education for K-12th grade. My personal canvases have been my gardens and my home. Flowers bring me so much joy! …
