INSPIRED

Hello, my name is Tiffany Rodriguez. I have the priveleged life of being a young artist. I say priveleged because I absolutely LOVE being an artist. For starters, I cannot imagine my life without art. It has also given me opportunities to meet so many amazing people.

As I show my work around, I ALWAYS meet the most interesting people. Last week at the Jazz Festival, I had the opportunity to meet a woman who told me about her son (not much older than myself who had recently passed). She walked around listening to an ipod, that was full of the music he used to listen to. This was such a "real" way to remember someone I thought. That day was one of those days I really felt the power that art can have. I'm an avid believer that art exists everywhere. I think art is any scene, any moment, any idea that INSPIRES. The idea that my art will live on, long after I'm gone is a heavy thought to me. I realize I have a lot of work to do :)
