Painter Tiffany Liu has crafted a compelling and absorbing visual world—a playful and sometimes macabre phantasmagoria filtered through the eyes of an adult artist who demonstrates that her adoption of a "childlike" point-of-view is never a "childish" one. Liu has been surrounded by art since she was old enough to walk. Both of her parents are artists, and she recalls that much of her youth was spent staring at paintings in the family-owned art gallery/studio as she learned to draw. At the age of six, her options for a future career had already been narrowed down to three choices: an artist, a singer or an astronaut. In the end, Liu opted for art. www.tiffanyliu.com
