Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - November/December 2021 - 51

affordable way to have a custom piece of
functional art. I also started collecting
chairs and furniture to paint. I took our old
kitchen table for my studio and painted the
four chairs that went with it. I have been
playing with the flanks or sides of different
fish and hand-painting the design onto
the chairs. So far, I have chairs in Canada,
Utah, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I
also just finished an order for terracotta
pots that I painted a Brown Trout and
Brook Trout design on for a client to put
their house plants in. I had never thought
of that, but they turned out great.
C: I saw some of your art at International
Angler (www.internationalangler.com).
Where else might we see your art?
T: International Angler is one of the
first fly shops that picked up my artwork
and decals. They have been great, and I
stop in every time I am in the Pittsburgh
area. Recently, the Neshannock Creek Fly Shop
(www.ncflyshop.com) started carrying my artwork and
decals. It is about 20 minutes from my shop, and I enjoy
supporting another local small business and fishing when I
head up to restock my decals and artwork. I also have some
prints available at Myers Flies (www.myersflies.com). They
just opened their first brick and mortar store in Dallastown,
York County. We met at the Lancaster Fly Fishing Show in
2019, and I was very excited when they asked to carry my
artwork this year. I recently started collaborating with
www.yellowsallyfishing.com, so I am also excited about that.
C: It sounds like you have quite a few irons in the fire. Thank
you so much Tiffany for taking time out of your day to chat.
Outside of the studio
London is a Pro Staffer at Semper Fly Rods
(www.semperflyrods.com). Semper Fly Rods is a United
Brown Trout and Brook Trout chairs that were hand-painted by Tiffany London.
States Marine Corps service, disabled veteran-owned
rod builder based out of Canal Winchester, Ohio.
They specialize in made-to-order rods and custom fly
rods. Each custom rod is built to the client's unique
specifications, utilizing the highest quality components.
The rods are built one at a time and personalized to the

In addition to her support of Semper Fly Rods,
London is also a mentor for the Mayfly Project
(www.themayflyproject.com). " The Mayfly Project is
a 501(c)(3) national organization that uses fly fishing
as a catalyst to mentor and support children in foster
care. The Mission of The Mayfly Project is to support
children in foster care through fly fishing and introduce
them to their local water ecosystems, with a hope that
connecting them to a rewarding hobby will provide
an opportunity for foster children to have fun, build
confidence, and develop a meaningful connection with
the outdoors. "
More than just art for the wall
One of the things that impressed me with London's
art is the functionality of much of it. There are glasses,
pillows, clothing, and more decorated with her art.
But, her talent does not stop there. As a graphic
designer, London uses her skills to design logos for
businesses as varied as the Beaverkill Angler to
www.theflyfishingcoach.com to Don Martin Trucking.
As a graphic designer, Tiffany London used her skills to design
