Tiffany J: Body Politic II

About Tiffany J

Tiffany Jones was born in Springfield, MA, and relocated to Baltimore in 1996 and has been a resident with her family ever since. She received her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012. Jones has exhibited her artwork in various galleries and museums in Massachusetts, New York, Virginia, and Maryland. These include the Marianne Boesky Gallery in New York, Artisphere in Virginia, Baltimore Museum of Art, James E Lewis Museum, and Sheila and Richard Riggs Galleries all in Baltimore. In 2012, Jones received a b-grant from the Baker’s Artist Awards for her photographic works which address topics of identity across multiple generations. Jones continues her photographic work while using her community as an inspiration.
