Artist: Tina Hirsig | Location: Charleston, SC
Charleston, SC
Tina Hirsig is an interdisciplinary artist in medium and discipline. Pushing the boundaries of drawing, photography, and collage she creates mixed-media sculptures and assemblages in dialogue with nature. Tina’s connection with nature and objects are directly related to childhood experiences. The daughter of two antique dealers, her childhood home is full of fascinating objects hanging from the ceiling and tucked into corners. Many of the objects woven into her artwork are treasures given by her parents. Month-long road trips taken as a child with her brothers and parents sparked a life-long connection to nature and traveling.
Tina moved from the Midwest to Boston, Massachusetts seeking her first experiences of a dedicated art and teaching practice which she established for seven years. Looking for new adventures, she moved to Charleston, South Carolina in 2003 and has since completed her Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College, actively maintains a singular and collaborative studio practice, regularly exhibits artwork locally and nationally, and gives back to her community through teaching.
She lives on James Island in Charleston, SC with her two sons and husband of 20 years.
