Tania Dibbs is a technically gifted and highly accomplished artist who explores the jagged intersection between the natural world, humanity and culture through painting, drawing and sculpture. The screens and overlays that Tania paints over her scenes both highlight and obscure the landscapes beneath, speaking both to the beauty of nature and the conflicting yet fantastic constructs of man. The competing forces of entropy and growth and the perseverance of nature are recurring themes in her work. Her art is diverse in style yet unified by its intent, passion and devotion to exploration. Tania attended the University of Virginia from which she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in fine art and in biology. Her art studies took her to Florence, Italy, the Art Student's League in New York, and the Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado where she won an Aspen Foundation grant to fund her painting study and an Artists' Fellowships for Colorado Artists award to study sculpture. Her honors include a Visual Artist Fellowship award from the Colorado Council on the Arts and an Art in Public Places selection from the state of Colorado. Tania has had one-woman and group shows in Aspen and across the United States, and her work is in the collections of well-known moguls, Hollywood celebs, and rock stars, as well as hotels such as the Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Viceroy, and Gaylord Hotels. Reproductions of her work can also be purchased at Restoration Hardware.
