ARTIST BIO
As a multidisciplinary artist, Tiffany Heng Hui’s portfolio includes abstract, mixed-media objects, paper-based collages, sculptures, jewelry, and paintings. Her 30-plus years of experience as a corporate interior designer adds depth to her artwork. Using her knowledge of colors, lines, shapes, textures, and materials, bridges the disciplines of interior design and art. In addition, while obtaining a masters of fine arts degree from the University of Houston, Tiffany was mentored by Richard Stout, a truly outstanding artist and instructor. He pushed her to except nothing less than excellence in her work. As a graduate student Tiffany was also a teaching assistant which allowed her to demand excellence from her students as well.
Tiffany’s art expresses movement and energy, reflecting the changing unstable characteristics of nature, as well as the fragmentation and uncertainty of life. Abstract creations allow the viewer to interpret each work based on their personal experiences and preferences. Layers mimic the order found in nature that must be present for balance and harmony to exist. Layering materials provides depth to each object. Tiffany’s architectural background allows her to use repetitive lines to create abstract compositions.
Tiffany’s paper collages have been selected for numerous juried exhibitions. Most recently, her work was selected by Alison de Lima Greene, the Isabel Brown Curator of Modern Contemporary Art at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas. She has exhibited in the Art Museum TX (part of the permanent collection), the Beeville Art Museum, Beeville, TX, the Kspace Contemporary, Corpus Christi, Texas, the Jung Center Houston, Texas, Lee College in Baytown, Texas, Women Made Gallery in Chicago, Illinois, curated by Kathryn Markel, and Galerie Biesenback in Cologne, Germany. Solo exhibitions at Heidi Vaughan Fine Art, in Houston, TX, Bosque Gallery, Tx, and Beeville Art Museum, Beeville, TX
ARTIST STATEMENT
As a multidisciplinary, visual artist and licensed commercial interior designer, I use my knowledge of lines, shapes, colors, textures, and materials to create abstract, mixed media, paper based collages, paintings, and sculptures. Lines, shapes and colors capture segments of the natural landscape. They express movement and energy, reflecting the changing, unstable characteristics of nature, as well as the fragmentation and uncertainty of life. Abstract creations allow the viewer to interpret each piece based on their personal experiences and preferences. Layers mimic the order found in nature that must be present for balance and harmony to exist. Layering of materials provides depth to each piece. My architectural background allows me to use repetitive lines to create abstract compositions. Use of intimate detail enhances my work by luring the viewer ever closer to discover things not visible from afar.
