Tilly Parker, a 20-year-old Australian college student who recently embarked on a new chapter at the University of Colorado Boulder in the U.S., is navigating her way through the intriguing realm of art. Her artistic journey took an interesting turn—after facing setbacks in middle school art, she rediscovered her creative flair in college, in her spare time she likes to create Collages & drawings in her iPad. 

 

In her early art, Tilly freely admits that her creations lacked a distinct character and were often driven by what she thought was visually appealing. However, college has proven to be a transformative period for her, as she strives to deepen her connection to the art world and infuse her creations with more profound meaning.

 

Drawing inspiration from her love for adventure sports such as surfing, skiing, and skateboarding, Tilly's art is a vibrant reflection of her energetic spirit. The move from Australia to the U.S. has undoubtedly contributed to the eclectic influences in her work, creating a fusion of cultural experiences in her artistic expression.

 

Tilly's admiration for artists like Peter Sutherland, Eric Elms, and Christos Alamaniotis serves as a compass guiding her artistic exploration. Their works inspire her to push boundaries and explore new dimensions in her own creative endeavors.

 

As Tilly continues her artistic odyssey, she aspires to cultivate a more intentional and meaningful approach to her craft. The diverse influences from her adventurous lifestyle, coupled with the inspiration drawn from admired artists, promise a fascinating evolution in Tilly's artistic narrative.
