Tiffany Nesbit is native to New Orleans, Louisiana. She received her BA in visual arts from the University of Southeastern Louisiana in 2018. While earning her bachelors, she received a certificate of creativity and innovation from Disney University in Orlando Florida in 2015. She has earned an MFA in visual arts at the University of Houston in 2022.
Nesbit currently instructs sculpture as an Adjunct Professor at San Jacinto College and 2d/3d at Lonestar College, Houston Texas. She consistently travels with her work to juried art festivals such as Bayou City Arts Festival in Houston Tx., Three Rivers Art Festival in Covington, La. and Art in the Pass, Ms. She consistently exhibits her work at the First Saturday Art Market on 19th Street, Houston Tx. Her work is also shown through Artists-in-Cellophane.
Her current practice is heavily influenced by childhood memories learning how to shepherd her family’s small farm in Louisiana; protecting the domestic animals on the property from monsters that come out from the woods and water systems at night. The characters in the work use humor and play to memorialize the animal’s spirits that once lived there. Nesbit uses clay as a major medium to make both sculpture and functional objects.
