Tiffany Toland-Scott is a Chesley-nominated artist originally from the Cascade foothills of Washington State and now living in Georgia. She works primarily in oil and watercolor, but started out as a digital artist. She’s self-published a number of fantasy and gothic art books, coloring books, and the Ancient Wisdom Oracle Deck. She has also worked for and with other companies, producing The Angel Tarot for Llewellyn Worldwide (2025) and a number of illustrations for Flame Tree Publishing, Hot Topic, Out of Step Books, and others.

 

Tiffany is a proponent of the self-taught artist, having left the scammy for-profit art schools behind as a young adult and pursued an artistic career without them. She is an ardent supporter of free art education and produces 4-5 instructional videos a month which are available on her YouTube channel, @spellboundbrush.

 

Working with classical techniques, Tiffany produces imagery inspired by mythology, ghost stories, folklore, and gaming. Her work is heavily inspired by her childhood growing up in a Pacific Northwest ghost town where nature encroached on all sides. Her paintings frequently feature an abundance of flora and fauna, a reflection of her childhood in the barely-tamed wilds of Washington.

 

After living in Washington for nearly 20 years Tiffany was briefly a denizen of Arizona, where she attended Collins Drafting School. Life took her back to Washington and then to Montana, where she lived with her husband Luke for seven years. They now live in Georgia with their son Wolfgang in a 112-year-old creepy manor house that is being swallowed up by nature, just how she likes it.
