Born into a family of artists, Tilly was brought up in rural Somerset, England. Growing up in an atmosphere of creativity, her father sculpting and painting, occasional visits from her cartoonist grandfather HM Bateman, and her elder sister forging her career as a painter, all contributed to her own interest in art. After a spell at Somerset College of Art, she went on to study Fine Art at The Byam Shaw in London during the 80s. The beautiful local landscapes are a constant source of inspiration and, during the warmer months, Tilly will be found painting in her garden, trying to capture the ever changing color and light.
Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
