Tyra is a self taught interdisciplinary artist. Her artistic journey began with mixed media painting and transformed into a passion for sculpture, interior design, and architecture. A common thread in her work is topographical influence. All sculptures, when viewed from various angles, reflect landscapes while overall silhouettes depict human anatomy. This approach links her environmental passions with a desire to emphasize aspects of the human experience. Conceptually, Tyra works exclusively in series. Her process begins with an overarching theme or message. Then artwork is planned, followed by poetry or musical accompaniment, in support of the theme. She is currently working to create installations that immerse viewers in spaces reminiscent of landscapes from her travels while contemplating widely accepted constructs of our existence. Tyra has exhibited in many cities across the US and will attend Château d'Orquevaux Artist & Writers Residency in Champagne, France in January 2023.
