About
Tiffany Calvert received her BA from Oberlin College (1998) and her MFA from the Mason Gross School of Art at Rutgers University (2005).
She has exhibited her work in the US and abroad including Lawrimore Project in Seattle, E.TAY Gallery in New York, Tinney Contemporary in Nashville, the Speed Museum in Louisville and Cadogan Contemporary in London. Residencies include the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, I-Park, and ArtOmi International Arts Center where she received a Geraldine R. Dodge Fellowship. Calvert has received grants from the Great Meadows Foundation and the Pollock-Krasner Foundation. Her work was recently profiled by critic John Yau in the online journal Hyperallergic.
Calvert’s curatorial projects include “Some Abstraction Occurs” at 65GRAND Gallery in Chicago and “Magic” at Mercer College (featuring work by Chris Martin, Karla Knight, Sarah Peters and others), which identified a trend in artists whose works address the otherworldly or magical. Calvert’s current paintings investigate the relationship between digital media and the reception and perception of images. Her work utilizes diverse technologies such as fresco, 3D modeling and artificial intelligence.
