Tjustina Art

Tammie Justina  is primarily a self-taught artist, born and raised in Chilliwack, B.C., and currently based in Mission, B.C. She has dedicated years to nurturing and strengthening her skills within the creative fields of study in abstract, surrealism, collage, and assemblage and her most recent works, handmade primitive art dolls that carry over her distinctive style of distressed aesthetic and storytelling to bring these charming old-world and often uncanny figures to life. As Tammie's practice continues to grow, she is an artist who's not afraid to challenge the boundaries.

My art begins with emotions, usually the uncomfortably honest ones. Whether I'm working in figurative abstraction, dollmaking, collage, or playing with experimental processes for assemblage pieces, my approach remains the same. To uncover unexpected beauty, to accept our flaws, and to awaken curiosity. Through my body of work, I am offering an invitation to sit with my art, allowing the nuances of the pieces to unfold slowly, acting as a kind of open-ended narrative where you may discover your own emotional landscape and revelations within the work.
