Her talents were further cultivated at Texas Tech University when she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art with a Major in Studio Art & Painting and Double Minor in Drawing and Marketing.

ARTIST PROCESS STATEMENT FOR LARGE SCALE PAINTINGS & REPOUSSOIR
Every sculptured relief in metal is individually hand tooled by the artist Tiffany Michelle Bohrer. Inspired by the Repoussoir method, the metal relief is then laid into Venetian Plaster or Textured Stone on wooden frames. The imagery is dependent on design fundamentals: form, color and composition. The most complex emotions can be evoked from the
simplest forms which bring forth memories of cherished times or a sense of reverence. The style explores the relationship
between man-made elements, icons, spiritual awareness and the natural world. The evolution involves layering. By building and removing endless layers of acrylique paint, the work is given a sense of history and unique, old world charm. The first layers are the most erratic and freeform. Sometimes other elements like oceanic findings, natural earth and collage are introduced in the early layers. Different characters and forms are discovered in the middle of the process, which are then
nurtured and allowed to develop almost at their own will. A dialogue is created with the painting, and it starts to direct the creative flow of the process. Determining when a painting is finished is a crucial and difficult step in the process, at least one day has to pass after final painting to declare a finished piece with fresh eyes . A final coat of fine art varnish is applied to protect your investment from UV and dust. Each piece is signed, dated and numbered by the artist Tiffany Michelle. The statement of inspiration and symbolism for each piece is written on a Certificate of Authenticity & signed by the Artist.
