“I am very pleased to have this elegant showroom as a gallery for my artwork,” says Ms. Birch. “Niko Lighting provides a creative environment that reveals my paintings as individuals would see them in their personal settings.”
Each of the 18 paintings was placed deliberately according to Feng Shui principles. “It is my philosophy that Feng Shui enhances and supports the flow of creative movement,” says Ms. Birch. “Ms. Lenore, who is only one of three Grand Masters in the United States, applied her expertise to enhance my paintings among this elegant lighting and create a unique gallery setting.”
Ms. Birch is an inspirational artist who understands how to create symbolic representations of people’s souls that reflect aspects of their personality. Paintings, such as Dancing Jewel, shimmer in exuberant colors against a blue background that looks like laughter floating in air. Other works, such as Beginning, move from the vibrant solar flares of the universe into a world surrounded by the flow of love that brings a sense of peace when viewed.
Living in Northern Virginia, Ms. Birch’s exploration of art led to the Art League of Olde Town Alexandria, Virginia where her passion for imagery enabled her to produce 60 paintings in 45 days. Her artwork was represented by Marin-Price Galleries in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Her move to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2002 fueled her passion for art as she worked not only with private and corporate clients but also with children, teaching them art through special programs for the Charter Learning Center of San Carlos and Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital. Her recent exhibit of shimmering hues adorned the walls of Ariba Headquarters in California.
Ms. Birch’s work can be viewed at Niko Lighting, 1148 San Carlos Avenue; San Carlos, CA 94070 during normal business hours and is available for sale. Many of Ms. Birch’s work can be viewed on her website: http://www.tiffanybirch.com.
