Starting each piece with dark shades, Tif Wolf then works to clear space using paler colors over parts of the canvas, mirroring the process of “decluttering” head space to find calm, while also looking to find an unbalanced balance.
Tif Wolf is a self-taught artist who comes from three generations of multimedia artists—and yet never made visual art until spring 2019. Tif discovered painting abstracts as a form of meditation, without forcing an outcome. Although the results are fluid forms, she uses only tools such as palette knives and scrapers, no brushes. Inspired by creating a space for expansiveness within the self, and how skies can provide such a space, whether viewed in highly-populated cities or Sullivan County.
Before becoming a painter, Tif worked at Viacom in television operations, performed as a drummer in a queer rock band, Triple Creme, and also studied and taught martial arts and self-defense to women and transpeople. Tif paints in Narrowsburg and Brooklyn, NY, where she lives with her wife and their dog, Freddie Mercury.
