About Tyler M. Watts:
Tyler M. Watts' art evokes the enigmatic beauty of life’s journey and the structure of the universe, all through the curious spirit of self-exploration. Influenced profoundly by a 10th-grade excursion to Frank Lloyd Wright's iconic Fallingwater, Watts discovered a passion for the fusion of beauty and structure, function and free-flowing design. Hailing from Pittsburgh's Northside, she pursued a BS in Civil Engineering at the University of Toledo, all the while nurturing her love for the visual arts. Though primarily self-taught, she honed her skills through a class in perceptual drawing, with a particular focus on portrait work.
Watts' artistic palette comprised primarily acrylics, spray paint, and conte crayon, skillfully interwoven to create an iridescent array that beckons viewers to explore with curiosity. Her ongoing fascination with geometry and structures permeates her compositions, offering a glimpse into her unique abstract expressionism. Notably, her work has been showcased in The Future Is Black 7th Installment, Art For Change Exhibition, and Mind Blown Art Pop-Up Exhibitions. Her current installation, "Nourishment," can be experienced at Soil Sisters in Pittsburgh's vibrant South Side.
