Articles about Anastasia were published in Saltscapes Canada’s East Coast magazine, Le Gaboteur magazine. She has been interviewed numerous times for CBC radio and radio Grand 101.
Her work encompasses monochromatic figurative referencing photographic imagery, gestural flat paintings, and colourful pointillism landscapes. Her textile works move in a different direction all together. Anastasia takes a fun and whimsical new spin on the traditional Newfoundland and Labrador art of rug hooking. Hooking was a craft taken up by Tiller during the long winters in Lethbridge, NL. With a fantastical approach to ocean creatures, the imagery is a playful departure from traditional approaches.
Loops of theatricality, bright pops of colour, and a flagrant optimism exude from these textile creatures which seek to brighten up the foggy or snowy days.
Tiller is actively involved in the provincial visual arts community as an art teacher as well as being a member of the Visual Artists Newfoundland and Labrador Board of Directors in the pas and serving on several committees for the organization presently.
