About the Artist:

Tyler Harris

Tyler LM Harris is a self-taught artist from Arizona. Her passion for drawing during childhood lead her to her first art competition at age eleven.

After winning a spot in the top ten illustrations at the Arabian Horse Show in Scottsdale, AZ, Tyler realized that art could be her future career. She quickly learned how to navigate art and animation programs on the computer and started a YouTube channel at twelve.

She moved here to Florida in 2018, when she was 15, to find more creative opportunities that would push her forward. Her accomplishments in high school truly defined her as an artist. During sophomore year, she enrolled in AP Art and got a 5 on her portfolio, and she earned a spot at the Dali Museum. Junior and senior year were full of art competitions, and then came her Weeki Wachee Mural. Her motto — “My art is my passion.”
