Jackie Tileston

Jackie Tileston’s paintings are heterotypic spaces in which recombinant strategies and nomadic thinking create complex images that investigate the contemporary sublime and states of being. Tileston spent her childhood as an itinerant “Third Culture Kid”, living in the Philippines, India, England, and France, before moving to the US. Her work has been featured in solo exhibitions in Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and Dallas. Tileston is the recipient of the Core Fellowship Residency, the Pew Fellowship in the Arts, the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Residency, the Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award. Tileston lives and works in Philadelphia, where she is an Associate Professor in Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania.
