Hello! I’m Tyran.

I’m a visual artist living in New York City. My mission is to inspire others to seek wholeness of heart, mind and soul. Through the use of symbolism and visual metaphors, my artwork sparks an emotional connection. I’m inviting you as the viewer to pause and reflect internally on your own values. I intend to get at the heart of what matters most to you and bring that message to life through the universal language of image.

In seventh grade, I walked into Betty Lou Hunter’s art class and was forever changed. I was opened up to endless possibilities by learning to observe and draw with the use of values and colors. I was introduced to many styles and examples of art and then challenged to get creative in making surprising connections to incorporate into my own work. I fell in love with the process of being given a concept and building on it. I have been doing that ever since!

You may have seen my work displayed in Trader Joe’s locations across Manhattan and Brooklyn, or on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints YouTube channel, where I share my experience painting my first outdoor public mural near Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx.

The human figure is a core part of my artwork because it represents the beauty and complexities of the human experiences that are not always easy to express or capture. I look for that beauty and recognize that even struggles can be shared and celebrated. My work has an overarching theme of reaching higher, pointing to the healing and growth I believe we are all reaching for. Join me on this creative journey!
