FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

I am an oil painter based out of Topeka, Kansas. I've been painting for the better part of my life & I want to share my love with all of you. I'm a commissioned artist, with a variety of strengths ranging from extreme realism, to the surreal & abstract. My focus is oil, though I do work with acrylic paint as well. I have recently discovered my love of molding/modeling paste (brand dependent) and plan to work with it much more in the future.

​

My inspiration comes from the striking beauty of nature, as well as the deepest pits of our minds. We are blessed with such a beautiful world with such vastly rich and diverse environments. Further, what drives my art career today is the love of those lost. Whether it be death or our own choices...the latter can be harder to grasp. However they both lead to exponential growth (if you let them). 

​

In my art you will see beauty...you will feel pain. You will have your own interpretations but regardless, I hope something finds you in Tyler Thornton Art.
