Cliff Tisdell's work is in private collections in America, Canada, Germany and England and his has been shown at galleries throughout the U.S.

A child of the sixties, Mr. Tisdell was part of the east village scene in the 1960s where he attended the School of Visual Arts but left after one year to attend Rutgers University with a career in journalism in mind. However, the pull to make art was too strong and after a few years, he worked as a freelance illustrator in NYC getting assignments from the Village Voice and Seven Days Magazine. He started his own graphic design boutique in NYC during the 1990s before deciding to focus on his own art.

Mr. Tisdell's work has appeared at Ivan Karp's OK Harris Gallery, the Chatauqua Institution, Carnegie Hall, Eric Fischl's America Now and Here Project, and the Edward Hopper House.

Mr. Tisdell is a regular guest speaker at libraries and art institutions across the New York, Metropolitan area.
