With a focus on commissioning monumental works of contemporary art, Tiffany creates opportunities for artists to shape landscapes, institutions, and communities—placing creative vision at the heart of how people experience place, memory, and belonging.
Her career spans more than two decades and includes curating and delivering landmark projects across the globe. She led art initiatives for Sports Boulevard, a 135-kilometer health and wellness corridor in Saudi Arabia, featuring over $100 million in public art commissions, temporary activations, and artist residencies for the Royal Commission of Riyadh. She launched Peace Plaza for the Mayo Clinic and the City of Rochester and curated major art collections for the institution’s healthcare environments. Tiffany has spearheaded eco-art programming for conservation initiatives in Chile and advised Mauritius’ Ministry of Arts and Culture on establishing its first national pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

Tiffany is a strong advocate for reimagining public art commissioning models. She collaborates with museums, architects, and public agencies to embed artists into infrastructure projects—she most recently partnered with TEN Arquitectos on a museum expansion competition, and worked for five years with the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston to extend its role into the public realm.
Named one of CODAworx’s “2025 Creative Revolutionaries,” Tiffany brings a rare combination of artistic insight and executive leadership to her projects. She is committed to transforming shared spaces—urban and rural, built and natural—into platforms for cultural exchange, joy, and imagination. Her work demonstrates how public art can generate human connection, environmental stewardship, and long-term economic investment.
