A self-taught artist, Tolpo Bader started drawing and experimenting with various mediums at an early age.  She was exposed to the artist's life and the freedom of expression while growing up in the family art studio of parents Carl and Lily Tolpo of Chicago, Illinois. Because Tolpo Bader posed as a portrait subject for many of her parents’ studio projects, she understands portraiture from the point of view of the sitter. Tolpo Bader developed her love of landscapes and animals during annual family summer-long painting and camping trips to Yellowstone and other National Parks.  

Ti Tolpo Bader studied art through the years with her professional artist parents Lily and Carl Tolpo. The Art institute of Chicago, Philadelphia Art Museum, the Frick Museum in NYC, and the Metropolitan Art Museum in NYC provided additional knowledge and inspiration through her studies of the exhibitions. 

Tolpo Bader's life experiences in dance, hiking, gardening, culinary cuisine, wildlife observation, music, entrepreneurship, political action, ethnic and cultural studies, give her an insightful world-view.
