Tiffany Zen presents two luminous portrait works, The Young Observer and The Calming Presence, as part of the 2026 Annual Benefit Art Showcase at Radial Arts Center in Omaha. Rooted in her signature mixed media practice, these pieces explore quiet moments of connection between humans and animals, rendered in radiant layers of color and metal leaf.
The Young Observer captures a sense of curiosity and awareness, a figure gently attuned to the world around them. The Calming Presence offers a counterbalance, embodying stillness, protection, and emotional grounding through the presence of an animal companion. Together, the works reflect Zen’s ongoing exploration of home, belonging, and the unspoken bond between species.
Each piece is designed to shift with light, inviting viewers into an intimate, reflective experience while bringing warmth, color, and a sense of calm into the spaces they inhabit.
