Hey there!
​I’m Tyrell, pronounced like Carol with a T; a maker, artist, designer, educator, and seeker now living in small town Ohio after many years in Colorado.
​
In Kindergarten, I won a city-wide award for an abstract painting I made in class. My parents framed it and hung it in the house, giving me the confidence that I might be good at art, although I’m pretty sure all the Kindergarten art was award-worthy. I continued creating art through high school, but took a break in college because art was a “hobby not a career.” After a few years of taking classes I hated, I filled a missing elective credit with a drawing class and the instructor asked me why I wasn’t an art major. Thanks, Gene!
​
I eventually earned a degree in Art Education at a non-traditional age and taught online high school and middle school art for 5 years. Although I loved the connection with my students, I decided sitting in front of computer all day just wasn’t for me.
​
Besides education, I’ve also worked many years in the restaurant business and then in construction, but have decided instead to settle into the creative life for good, nurturing my artistic roots inherited from my Grandma Betty.
Since I started this venture, I've created designs for apparel and products, painted countless murals, facilitated community creativity workshops, completed dozens of commissioned paintings, created an event poster for a large festival, designed business logos, taught private homeschool art lessons, painted at some live events, shown my work in a gallery, hand-painted business signs, and so so much more.
​
In establishing Seeker Creative, I have chosen art as my perpetual environment, daily connecting with color, design, aesthetics, and beauty. At this point in my life, I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to consciously curate the second half of my life, to embrace my creative story.
​​
​
As Seeker unfolds, I wish to widen my circles of human connection and beauty, possibly traveling across the world to create murals and acquire new cultural inspiration.
