Through large-scale, mixed-media works of acrylic and oil pastel, Hunters captures the essence of alienation and optimism through the Jaguar—a recurring motif in Tiphaine’s work. Rooted in her Belizean heritage and Mayan ancestry, where the jaguar represents Balam, the mythical god of strength and transformation, these works encourage audiences to reconnect with their “wild twin”.

Artist Statement
Art has the power to hold space for difficult emotions, experiences, thoughts, and sensations,and unspoken truths—speaking softly where words cannot reach.
My work celebrates the playful, untamed spirit within—a vibrant exploration of connection, resilience, and transformation. Rooted in my Belizean heritage and Mayan ancestry, I draw from cultural symbolism and personal experiences to create bold, large-scale mixed-media works that bridge the personal and universal.
Using layers of acrylic and oil pastel, I craft dynamic, intuitive compositions alive with vivid colors and intricate patterns. Recurring motifs such as the Jaguar, the Cactus, and the Lady embody ferocity, strength, and transformation. These symbols reflect our shared longing to reconnect with the “wild twin” inside us—the essence urging us toward authenticity and self-discovery.
Through my art, I explore themes of alienation, optimism, and belonging. I invite viewers to find meaning in the interplay between chaos and harmony, to celebrate their own wild spirit, and to embrace the beauty of transformation and inner strength.
