Donate to Tyler's Art Career

Artists need support. Statistically, only 10-20% of artists consistently earn enough income to support themselves full-time. Around 1% get represented by high-profile art galleries that allow one to earn an average income. I follow many artists' stories and know the challenge is real. I personally know this unique path is one of the most complex forms of semi-impractical dedications and challenging pursuits. Many unfortunately give up and move on, and my heart goes out to the collective. We are all artists in a way. Humanity is a very powerful singularity of imagination. An artist knows everything is interconnected and often portrays these patterns in their work. Art brings people together to admire our greatest universal mirrors. Art is like a prism that collects white light and bends it into a museum of the mind and soul.

My art collection spans over 30 years of inspiration but not enough focus on painting. My collection has reached over 100 originals and 1,000 conceptual drawings. I have succeeded and failed many times in the art business. Art doesn't pay my bills, so I have done many types of work, painted homes for the last 20 years, some carpentry and gardening. I quit painting homes in 2024, the job was too toxic and dangerous. These jobs leave me drained and not focused on much of anything else. I have since been focused towards my art career. I never quit creating, reinventing and believing in myself. I will forever dedicate my life towards this goal of creative expression.

​

My dream is to paint full-time, produce and sell my work in art galleries, create forest art installations, art gardens, nature spas, saunas, and an endless stream of creative carpentry. The long-term goal is to own an art gallery/ studio and be a full-time artist the way an artist should be supported. This new website and my first online store will help me capture revenues on art prints and sell more originals. I knew and aspired decades ago that I would someday sell prints online. It has taken me 30 years to figure out how to channel ideas through meditation, paint, scan, archive, edit files, print and manage this aspect of this business. "I dream my painting, and then I paint my dream" -Vincent van Gogh.

Check out the "Art Installations" page to see some of the many creative projects that I have completed and my modern collection of acrylic paintings in the Gallery page. All funding will go directly into art studio materials and equipment, budgets, tools for art installations and community creative donations. Please donate towards a goal or purchase a print. Everything helps bring this lifelong dream to reality.

May the Forest be with You!
