Richard & Kiry Tiberius

Richard and Kiry Tiberius are a father-daughter art duo celebrated for their vivid depictions of nature. Richard, born in 1941 in Long Island, New York, uses knives to sculpt thick layers of paint, creating lifelike portrayals of trees, plants, and animals inspired by decades of exploring diverse landscapes. Kiry, trained in opera before turning to art, blends detailed subjects with impressionistic backgrounds, crafting striking three-dimensional works. Known for her miniature canvases and textures that mimic fur and feathers, she collaborates daily with her father in their Washington, DC studio, merging his self-taught expertise with her formal training to honor the natural world.
