About

After recently receiving her Master degree from the University of the Arts in London, Tia has returned to the U.S. She is currently based in Chicago, the windy city, where she grew up and received her fine arts degree from the Art Institute of Chicago. Previous to her stay in the UK, she spent five years freelancing in filmmaking and photography in New York City and currently shoots sports photography and other spot news for Examiner Publications.

Artist Statement: My work is centered in a variety of subjects that range from capturing emotional political rallies to seeking out old and forgotten landscapes. Disrupting reality and blurring the distinction between real and imaginary space is a theme I constantly explore in my work. Perhaps this happens through a crude digital camera, essentially a child’s toy, capable of only .02 pixels or by way of my plastic Holga camera. It’s both the simplicity and complexity that draws me to this craft. I see the world in photographs. My eye is a lens trained on the world around me.
