Press Release

Using adaptable artistic methods that range from mixed media and collage to drawing and painting, Kirstie Tuffs draws inspiration from an eventful and exhilarating life. Tuffs personal style is driven by her desire to come to grips with the issues raised by cultural integration and divide, from the perspective of a mixed background with her Colombian mother and Scottish father. "My work is inspired by identity yet what is identity these days," she questions, "since we live in an integrated world, where globalization brings us all together and yet divides remain." The work reveals its dichotomous roots, remaining graceful while including unchained explosions of line and color; Tuffs varies her methods to convey principal themes.

She holds a MFA from Winchester School of Art in London, with her work shown in solo exhibitions in the UK (Southampton, Hampshire) and the US (Cambridge, MA). Tuffs is currently teaching art classes to inmates in Boston, where she lives and works, and this experience has made palpable the role of art as a powerful medium of expression
