"Topography inspired sculpture and installation connecting nature and human experience."
Tyra Johnson was born in San Antonio, Texas. As a child in a military family she relocated often. Her time spent in Germany and Colorado resulted in a love of nature and outdoor activities. From location to location, she found herself involved in visual, theater, and musical arts. A natural creative, she carried a curiosity and multicultural perspective into adulthood.
Tyra is a self taught interdisciplinary artist and designer. 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.
Tyra's work has been exhibited in Dallas, TX; Chicago, IL; and, Brooklyn, NY. She has created various custom designs and commissions for individuals and business organizations.
