​​​​​​​My name is Tiara Tiana, I am an emerging printmaker, based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Building upon childhood curiosity, my passion for creative expression drives my search for continued knowledge, obtaining a BFA in printmaking at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Fully immersing myself into the rich history of printmaking techniques, my printmaking practice developed into a search for identity, culture, and connection. I aim to continue expanding the boundaries of printmaking through experimentative juxtapositions of the figure with texture by combining different printmaking methods, such as collagraph and drypoint on paper and fabric.
