event, today from 4-7pm, where many of her incredible works are displayed and for sale.
Alana Ciena Tillman is a true artistic talent. Her favorite mediums include acrylic and oil paint,
lithograph and water color. She creates these works of art exclusively without the use of her arms.
Drawing and painting as a child was always an outlet for Alana. She had quite a few surgeries
and was a lot of times, in a sling or cast so paintings became a passion for her. She used
art to escape especially when recovering.
At the age of 12, she didn't realize that painting with her mouth was all that remarkable considering
that's all she knew, being born without the use of her hands. And it wasn't until she received
overwhelming encouragement and positive responses from her family and friends that she thought
she should continue sharing her talents.
She accredits her parents Allen and Denise Tillman for all their encouragement and support and for
pushing her at times even when it annoyed her. Alana is also grateful for her supportive twin sister Alena
who has always been there since day one. She is the other half to Alana's soul and her creativity
continues to inspire her. Alena knows how to constructively critique and encourage Alana at the same time.
Alana is inspired by food, nature, agriculture, architecture, fashion and texture. She soaks up
everything around her like a sponge with her own interpretation of each subject. She loves bold
saturated colors mixed with subdued tones.
