Meet Tiffany Guevara (Tiffy)! She is a first-generation Colombian-American who runs a smal woman-owned business named TiffymLuv. She was mostly a traditional painter until about 5 years ago when she slowly transitioned to digital painting; Now she does short little animations, and various different crafts such as laser engraving, natural fabric dyeing, and sewing.

Tiffy has a B.A. in Studio Arts from California State University, Long Beach. She speaks English and Spanish, and she is learning Japanese and Korean! Since she was little, she has always loved picture books, book illustrations, and comic illustrations. She is planning to illustrate and write children’s books in the future, a few are in the works currently!

She grew up moving a lot since her dad was in the Navy, so during that time they lived off and on in Japan and South Korea. That was where her love of stationery really took off, since she loves how little and cute they make everything! She loved collecting the small figurine erasers, stickers, and picking up a cute new notebook to sketch in and write in.

Tiffy has always loved to draw, and seeing those items in shops overseas really made her want to have her own stationery products that people would buy and cherish just as much as she did. She loves it when customers buy postcards, and she asks them who they will send it to or gift it to, and most of them say they will keep it safe as a print instead!

She loves making products that not only make her feel happy, but also help others feel happy and uplift their own spirits with her artwork. Because she has lived overseas and met so many wonderful people and experienced such different cultures, she tries to incorporate that in her practice.

Her work is inspired by looking at the outside world, specifically the beach, and people-watching. In her free time, she likes to volunteer at the local pet shelter, pick up trash at her local beaches, read comics, go to the beach, library, and parks!

Outside of digital art, her work focuses on sculptural and abstract-based pieces. Overall, she is passionate about illustrating and creating colorful and imaginative stories.
