Your Instructor
I'm Tiffany Sharpe, an artist working with watercolor, mixed media, and creating unique handmade books. You might be surprised to hear that my background is in chemistry, but it's that very love of experimentation and play that I bring to my creative practice. I truly believe that letting go of perfectionism can lead to a more joyful and stress-free creative life, and I'm on a mission to encourage others to embrace that journey. After years of traveling, I'm now happily settled in Minnesota with my family, and when I'm not in my studio, you can often find me digging around in the garden.
