about

Erin Tyler is a multidisciplinary, process-based artist living and working in Springfield, Missouri. Her work moves across painting, collage, photography, drawing, assemblage, and fiber-based forms, often combining analog and digital processes to explore perception, memory, and how images shift through translation and repetition. Guided by intuition, repetition, and chance, she works through materials as a way to stay grounded and connected to people, histories, and the quiet rhythms of care and labor.

Erin recently received her MFA in Visual Studies at Missouri State University. In 2023, she completed her first artist residency at the Villa Lena Foundation in Palaia, Italy. She has exhibited her work regionally throughout the Midwest, including a solo exhibition in Kansas City and numerous group exhibition. In 2023, she was invited to create a site-specific installation for Archetypes, a multidisciplinary art event in Miami.
