bio
Tiffany Gholar is a lifelong resident of Chicago, Illinois. Gholar’s newest series, Post-Consumerism,
explores the principles of design using found object assemblages. Her style places great emphasis on
color and texture. The majority of her medium scale pieces are constructed of found objects headed
for the recycling bin, including cardboard boxes, plastic grocery bags, and packing materials.
Her work has been exhibited in several Chicago area venues, including Prak-Sis, The Galaxie art
center, and 119th Street Artists in Whiting, Indiana. When she is not painting, she works as a part-
time executive assistant and freelance interior designer.
She studied art as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago and interior design at Harrington
College of Design and is currently a candidate for a Masters Degree in Painting at Governors State
University.
