About the Artist

Dane Tilghman, a professional artist for nearly 40 years, hails from West Chester, PA. His work seeks to spotlight the lost history of African American communities in the US. Embracing a vibrant style and color palette, Tilghman combines elements of cubism, impressionism, and realism to celebrate early 20th-century Black life and culture. He creates textured pieces that seem to leap off the canvas by employing palette knife techniques and various mediums. Tilghman’s compelling art fosters a sense of empathy and respect for people of all backgrounds, enriching any environment it inhabits.

Dane Tilghman has established himself as one of the premier painters of African American Art. He has exhibited his works throughout the United States at art festivals, galleries, trade shows, and sports arenas where he has received numerous awards.
