Bio

Tiggy Augery (born 1995 in Chandler, Arizona) is an American artist based in San Antonio, Texas. Her work blends painting and sculpture, using primarily oil paint on hand-built wooden structures. Within her pieces she explores the human connection to mythology, religious experience across culture, and personal conversations made public. Tiggy spent her childhood moving from country to country with her family, constantly adapting to change and seeing the world through fresh eyes. She served six years in the US Navy as a language analyst. Tiggy is currently pursuing her MFA at UTSA. Through her art practice she is getting to know herself without restraint or uncertainty, which is reflected in the contemplative and vulnerable state of the women in her work. When not feverishly painting in her home studio, she can be found tending to her garden while listening to a history documentary.
