Studio stuff
Tilly Strauss is an award winning artist who works in rural North East NY. She paints and draws most every day to document time, capture fleeting moments, and feed her soul. Strauss captures images to joyously celebrate and add a touch of whimsy to your life. She paints small and medium sized paintings of iconic subjects meant to help you feel at home or satisfy the need to escape. The paintings are colorful whimsical stories that freeze moments on a wall and can be transported to another home as a gift.
In addition to painting, Strauss supports other artists as an accountability coach, writes art reviews for local publication, publishes art ancestory zines, and is the Town Clerk and Vital Records Manager in her community.
Her art transcends the daily grind by acknowledging our connection to each other and to nature.
