I'm very excited to share a new public mural I've been working on this past week. The inspiration was breath-taking. Come see the photos from my trip to Sand Wash Basin, a BLM area in North-Western Colorado where thousands of wild horses roam free.

I've been at this, feverishly, since the Pandemic hit. It's time for a rest.

Through all this, I've realized that the easiest way to cope is to just keep on trucking' with goals and visions for the future and hope for the best...

That was a really good question sunrise230. I hope you have a minute. Here's the long and the short of it...

I'm thrilled to give you an update for my first art auction last week and WOW! The winner is.....

1st Weekly Featured Art, Here We Go...

...and first attempt to auction art to give help to fight against the COVID-19 Pandemic. God help us.

New Works of Art

are brightening the walls of the Children's Hospital Colorado North Campus, a total of six works of art by Tif. Read on....

Your joy matters.

You are my most important purpose, your happiness, your joy is my goal. The creations that evolve from my drafting table, from this studio, are overwhelmingly to brighten your world and fill you with something that wasn't there before. I fabricate works of art so that you can buy something that ultimately will give you years of visual delight.

But I'm NOT reaching out here to to sell you art.

I do however actually need something from you...

What do we have Here?

This piece is called 'Nebula' and it's Abstract art, that's what. 

But what does that mean exactly???

What is Snail Candy?

 What is with this wondrous, little beast contained in an incalculable endless spiral of protection that speaks the silent universal language of perfect infinity?  Whew! How it fluidly glides along on it's magical carpet undulating across the terrain of the universe. I do believe snails are extra-terrestrial.

Something about a little sweet treat, just because, that gives me unbridled, childlike joy. What's your favorite treat?

I hope so.     Maybe next year...

'Breakfast' by Tif Choate 20x16 inches

Wish me Luck 🍀 I’m applying I applied for the Voices of the Wilderness Artist in Residence in Alaska this summer!! Not this year, maybe next.  I sure LOVE ❤️ Alaska!

New works in the works. Beautiful new dog portraits in all the many splendid colors of the rainbow!

I’ve been away from my studio for two weeks now, and believe me, there’s much to do. But I’m learning what matters most in this life is the ones you love.

I can hardly believe its the holidays already. That means gatherings, parties and open house invites. Fun, but also exhausting for an introvert like me!

The Art of Giving: 5 Steps on How to Give the gift of Art to Others

With the weather looking and feeling more and more like fall turning into winter, I find I am inside more than out. Which gives me lots of time to paint in the studio...

I'd love to say every day as an artist is all beautiful like the colors swirling in my water bucket (like in this picture). But that is merely the icing.

A few projects left before it gets cold. That's what I always think when September rolls in. This year it's so I can finish painting the SHOCK BOX in Longmont, CO. What's that? Read on...

Many of you have expressed some questions and confusion about the AUCTION I am doing right now, such as

1. Why are you doing this?
2. What percentage of the winning bid is going to the www.metoomvmt.org? And do any of the proceeds go to you?
3. What is the me too movement exactly?
4. What do you need me to do?.

Hopefully this POST will answer those questions...

I'm excited to announce my new solo art exhibit coming in July @ East Simpson Coffee Company. July 23- August 19th all about LVE

Summer  = MURAL SEASON!! This beauty is brand new this week, to the Animal Urgent Care 24/7 Animal Hospital in ARVADA

Thanks to MadeLife Gallery in Boulder, CO for a fun reception night on St. Patty's Day 3/17, featuring local artists from around the Boulder County area. This pop up exhibition was on display until March 27th.

It was designed to get affordable art up and out for the public to seem some works of local artists & to be able to purchase them. I was thrilled to be one of the artists in the show and I've really enjoyed this incredibly fun and creative community. It's really great to be around such a talented group of artists. How lucky!

Dog Show in January...get ready!
