Tiffany Starrett - Layered Art of Love, Loss & Transformation

About Me and Everlasting Echoes

Art has always been how I make sense of the world. It’s the thread that’s carried me through joy, chaos, and grief — the practice that saved me more than once. When I lost my daughter, Ally — pictured here days before everything changed — I turned to art again. The first memorial piece I created was for her, and from there, Everlasting Echoes began to take shape.

Since then, I’ve created memorial art for both people and pets, blending contemporary design with intention. These pieces are conversations between grief and grace, between what’s gone and what remains. While commissions are still part of my work, I also create personal mixed‑media pieces — textured, imperfect explorations built from fragments of wood, pigment, and metaphor. They’re spaces where I play, rediscover, and let memory breathe in new ways.

My practice has been featured in places like Voyage Denver and Shoutout Colorado, most recently in a 2025 interview highlighting its growth. But the real story lives in the layers. This work isn’t only about Ally. It’s about all the invisible griefs we carry, and about transformation — naming what hurts without needing to fix it, and making space for 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.
