Artist Biography and Statement

Tammy Ratcliff was born in Toronto in1966.  She studied printmaking at BealArt in London, Ontario and has been printing since her first class in 1990.  After leaving school, she opened a small printshop and gallery  which she ran for seven years with a fellow printmaker, Ryan Price, in downtown Guelph.  She lives in Guelph with her family and she works in her own studio amoungst the diverse artistic community in the Trafalgar Building Studios.

Through her intaglio, monotype prints and mixed media works she strives to convey her fascination with the natural world; its strength and beauty while drawing attention to the imperfections and impermanence inherent in all living things. My recent work has been an examination of pieces of the whole; inclusion, exclusion and difference. This fascination with the facets and relationships that make up the entirety is embodied in both my artisitic process and in the content of my art.

Her work has shown extensively in group and solo shows, most recently at Lennox Contemporary for the World Washi Summit, Gallery Stratford, Open Studio, Toronto and the Print Studio in Hamilton.

Tammy has received provincial grants and various awards for her artwork since first exhibiting in 1993. Her work is included in numerous private, public and corporate collections in North America, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean. 

Presently, she is preparing for the Artist Project, Toronto and is excited about upcoming exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Windsor and Cambridge Galleries.
