Artist's Statement
Tiki McIntyre
Artist Statement


My artwork, like my life, is deeply layered. I primarily use acrylics with the addition of paper, natural elements and mark-making for emphasis in my mixed media abstractions. Inspired by my energetic New Orleans combined with a deep love for mountain and beach air, I strive to convey these influences with their strong ethereal elements. I paint to express the joy I have for life-always learning, playing and challenging myself. With courage and faith my intention is to inspire others to live bright and energetic lives.

Always keep smiling, remembering that what starts with Love and continues through the Spirit will always grow. My greatest hope is that my art creates that pull towards joy in the viewer.

I enjoy sharing my love through my art!!!
Artist's Bio
Artist Bio for Tiki McIntyre


Tiki’s love for color, art, and painting began when as a child she rode her bike in California along Pacific Coast Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Not long afterward, she painted a very large format watercolor from a camping trip taken with her sister. Capturing a feeling, expressing it in bright colors, and using both realism and abstract expressionist techniques helped Tiki honor and preserve a moment in time. Incorporating her passion for inspiring those around, Tiki often paints affirmations under her art. Working as a Life & Health Coach she encourages those she works with to live life out loud with courage like she does. She renovated an amazing 145 y.o. home with her husband William while living in Uptown New Orleans, LA. Daughters, Ryan and Hattie love hanging out with Tiki in her studio painting and singing Broadway tunes! Energetic dog Layla often runs chasing her 4 cats through the studio and once her fluffy tail grabbed blue paint and it is still being found around the studio, yard, and house! It makes for fun times! Moving to Cary (2022) & Apex (2023) is providing Tiki & her family ample opportunities to explore new surroundings.
Available for paintings by commission.

REMEMBER to LOVE ALL first & then FOLLOW THRU!


This quote by Georgia O’Keefe has always been a favorite mantra!
“I had to create an equivalent for
what I felt I was looking at-not copy it.”
