Her human experience has given rise to the exploration of imagination, merging imagery from our modern reality with that of dream realms and internal veracities.
Stiff experiences the divine in all living creatures, by witnessing their genuity and integrity she has been able to cultivate these qualities herself, which is evident in her articulation as an artist. Each image is a gift of imagination, a call for compassion and an approach to healing, as Stiff Ives presents her Art and Medicine for the world.
