GRANDE DAME - CREATING POP ARTIFACTS & CURATING LIVE AUDIO EXPERIENCES
Grande Dame is the new audio/visual project by UK-based artist Tiff McGinnis. This exciting project combines a Rock & Roll Burlesque soundtrack with psychedelic animations, an earth shattering live show with top players, and a range of bespoke limited edition creations.
Tiff makes music and creates colorful animated videos to accompany her songs. Her OCD tendencies compel her to over detail her videos, so images from them are then incorporated Giclee Prints, Screen Prints, Blotter Art, Porcelain Plates, t-shirts, bags,and more.
Tiff has collaborated with light designer Chris Bracey of God’s Own Junkyard on a range of psychedelic, pinball inspired lights. And is represented by Ink_d Gallery, Brighton.
2013 has seen Tiff foray into the fashion world with legendary couture shoe designer – Terry de Havilland – on a collection of shoes with her brightly colored psychedelic patterns.
She is currently in the process of finishing an animated short for the Grande Dame Album, which she plans to turn into a comic, along with a series of limited edition artworks out early 2014.
Tiff McGinnis is a dedicated, creative, maverick, with keen eye for detail. Her work is thought-provoking, funny, colorful and exciting. Her sound is big, her style is large – she is GRANDE DAME.

Absolutely love your Grande Dame album, i have some of your previous stuff on Tummy touch, it must be you on the twitchin track featuring Chantilly Peach? thats a wicked little track, i used to play it quite a bit in my dj sets. Your recent exhibition looked fantastic also and have been loving the videos Adrian Meehan showed me.
