Tina Mammoser was born in 1970 in Chicago. She grew up equally fascinated by math, art, science, writing, and music. An endless academic, she moved to Scotland in 1993 to pursue a second degree. Later she moved to London, where she finally took up art and painting, and then to Yorkshire. She earned her British citizenship in 2012. Years living next to Lake Michigan, the River Tay, the Thames River, and the North Sea surfaces in her abstractions of water and the sea. In 2005 she began cycling and painting the English coastline, which prompted a return to university in 2010 for her sixth degree. She studied the coastal geology that is now a vital element of her artwork.

For over 20 years, Mammoser has been combining elements of abstraction with the science of her materials and subject matter. Her drawings and paintings are collected internationally. She now works from her studio in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
