Tammy Ratcliff
Tammy Ratcliff (b. 1966, Toronto, ON) is a printmaker whose practice has been evolving since her first class at BealArt in London, Ontario in 1990. Based in Guelph, Ontario, she works from her studio in the Trafalgar Building and also co-runs Wyndham Art Supplies with her husband, artist Chris Ahlers.
Tammy’s work has been featured extensively in solo and group exhibitions, including SHIFT – Environmentally Responsible Print Practice at McMaster Museum of Art, Print City: Detroit, Art Toronto with Open Studio, World Washi Summit, Printopolis, Toronto, and Memento, which showcased work from a month-long residency in the Norwegian Arctic at Renann Isaacs Contemporary Art.
Her artwork has been recognized with provincial grants and awards, including third prize in Open Studio’s National Printmaking Awards (2010). Her pieces are held in numerous private, public, and corporate collections, including the Dan Donovan Collection at St. Michael’s, Stratford Gallery, Art Gallery of Guelph, Ernst & Young, and Idea Exchange. Ratcliff has participated in international residencies, including Frans Masereel Centrum in Belgium, Spark Box Studios in Picton, Ontario, Prima Ink in Tromsø, Norway, and research trips to Japan studying traditional papermaking with a fifth-generation papermaker.
Tammy Ratcliff’s printmaking practice is informed by her deep engagement with process, materials, and global artistic traditions, producing work that bridges innovation, craftsmanship, and environmental consciousness.
