Tigg has created art throughout her life in one form or another, including interior design and architectural drafting. She received a degree from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in Graphic Communications. Eventually, she found her way to painting. She works with both oils and watercolors, in her studio and outdoors. She is inspired by the natural beauty of the sea, the trees, and the charming communities tucked along the coastline.

Tigg shares her unique perspective of our coastal community by painting recognizable locations from a vantage point not usually seen. Her goal is to have the viewer sense that they recognize what they are seeing but feel unsure of exactly what the image is – until they find a particular clue in each of her paintings. Tigg’s goal is to create an “Aha!” moment as viewers finally identify each location.
