Tiffany Starrett - Layered Art of Love, Loss & Transformation

About Me and Everlasting Echoes

After losing my daughter, Ally—pictured here days before everything changed—I needed a way to make sense of what couldn’t be fixed. That’s how Everlasting Echoes began. It didn’t start as a business or even as art. It started as survival. I was reaching for something that could hold the weight of absence and still let light in.

In the beginning, I created cremation art: pieces that held ashes and emotion, crafted for people navigating loss. Each one was a conversation between grief and grace, between what was gone and what remained. While I still take on commissioned memorial work when it feels right, my focus has shifted. Everlasting Echoes is now about rediscovery—of voice, of agency, of truth that doesn’t need to be polished.

My mixed media pieces are textured and imperfect by design. Built from fragments—wood, pigment, memory, metaphor—and shaped by love and loss. I create with intention, layering tactile materials and emotional resonance until the piece feels honest enough to breathe. My work has been featured in places like VoyageDenver and Shoutout Colorado, but the real story lives in the layers. This practice isn’t just about Ally. It’s about all the invisible griefs we carry. It’s about transformation, about naming what hurts without needing to fix it. It’s about making space—for myself, for others, for the echoes that refuse to fade.

Family Collaboration and Legacy

I don’t walk this journey alone. My retired dad, Charles—pictured here celebrating his retirement with the kind of grin that says “finally”—volunteers his time to help with handcrafted wooden cradled panels, floating frames, and whatever else I dream up. He’s the one measuring twice, sanding edges, and reminding me that grief, like wood, has its own grain.

Our collaboration isn’t just practical—it’s personal. It’s legacy work. In the quiet rhythm of building together, we’ve deepened our bond and carved out space for stories that don’t fit in words. His presence steadies mine, especially when the work gets heavy.

Together, we honor Ally’s memory through process, presence, and shared storytelling. Every frame he builds holds more than art—it holds love, lineage, and the kind of strength that doesn’t need to announce itself.

Why It Matters

Everlasting Echoes is more than creativity. It’s a reflection of life, love, and remembrance. Every piece carries its own echo—a lasting imprint of emotion, connection, and transformation.

Thank you for witnessing this journey with me.
