Lead High School Instructor

Tiffanie Peters is a contemporary visual artist based in Los Angeles, CA. The artist’s continually expanding practice merges and abstraction while processing systems surrounding: western ideas of beauty, power structures, visibility, art history, academia and categorization. By combining oil paint, ink, pastels and charcoals with the use of unscratched canvases, she confronts Eurocentric traditions in art history. Leaning into this resistance provides alternative ways to see, create and live. Tiffanie Peters earned her BA in Interdisciplinary studies at the American University of Rome, Italy and is a 2023 MFA candidate at Otis College of Art in Los Angeles, CA.
