Tiffany Rysdale is an oil painter from Scotland, UK living and working in Adelaide, South Australia.
She paints character-based work and in this particular painting the clouds take on the form of the character she painted.
Tiffany came across the Cloud Appreciation Society page via the TED talks page when she was researching clouds during this project. She absolutely loved Gavin Pretor-Pinney’s ‘Cloudy with a chance of joy’ and found it aligned extremely well with the painting’s concept and intentions, allowing ourselves to take the time to daydream by letting our imaginations drift and find shapes in the sky.
You can see more of her work on her website.
