BIO

Tiffany Bozic is a contemporary painter whose work engages deeply with ecology, natural history, and scientific research. Based in Northern California, she works primarily in acrylic on sustainably harvested maple panels, creating detailed compositions that investigate biodiversity through both emotional and structural perspectives.

Her practice is rooted in years of field observation and scientific collaboration, beginning with a formative residency at the California Academy of Sciences and continuing through ongoing research travel to diverse ecosystems. These experiences inform a visual language shaped by close looking, ecological literacy, and sustained attention.

Bozic has exhibited widely in the United States, contributed to the U.S. Department of State’s Art in Embassies program, and participated in National Geographic’s Endurance exhibition. She is a long-time partner of the conservation nonprofit Art into Acres, integrating artistic practice with environmental advocacy.

She is the author of two monographs published by Gingko Press and the illustrator of two children’s books with Simon & Schuster that celebrate biodiversity and foster early connections to the natural world.

MISSION

 

My work is a bridge between art, science, and the living world. I paint to honor the beauty and complexity of life on Earth, inviting viewers into moments of close looking and connection with the more-than-human world.

Rooted in field study and direct encounter, my practice grows from observing relationships in place—whether walking the landscape near my home in Northern California or traveling on scientific expeditions. These experiences shape a visual language that draws from ecology, natural history, and memory to explore how perception can deepen our understanding of the systems that sustain life.

Working in acrylic on maple wood, I allow the grain to remain visible, grounding each painting in the material presence of time and landscape. Through layered compositions, I reflect on universal themes—resilience, vulnerability, kinship, loss—and on the role of attention in a culture defined by speed and distraction.

I believe that art can help restore a sense of care. My intention is to create images that ask for time, offering a moment of stillness and reflection in an age of fragmentation. My hope is that the work encourages a renewed sense of belonging, reminding us that we are part of a larger, interconnected world.

In the rush of our time, I paint as an act of listening—each work a vessel for the beauty, memory, and kinship that bind us to the living world.
