Hello, my name is Tyrel Johnson. I was born the youngest of sixteen into a family of artists. My father is a sculptor, and my mother is a homemaker. My large family was supported solely by my father’s artwork. He ran his own foundry, and I spent most of my free time there. I have learned so much from observing my father and siblings as they sculpted. At a young age I was making serious attempts at sculpture. Naturally, I ended up working at the foundry. I am well trained in all aspects of the casting process as well as the point up and sculpting of monumental sculpture. This upbringing has given me a priceless experience in the arts, and granted me audience with many artists outside of my own family. Through a persistent application of my talent, and constant acquisition of new skills I find myself excited about the future of my life’s work. It is exciting to know that I will continue to sculpt, and continue to better represent the human condition, as I know it. Artwork is what moves me, and it is my hope that my art will move you as well. Please enjoy!


I do art because I simply cannot help myself. I have manipulated clay, wood, metal.. with my hands since I can remember. I have spent years studying anatomy. All of this was for me, in a way, a means to becoming an artist. I always overlooked the fact that I am an artist during that quest for quality. I am an artist through and through. I have an overwhelming urge to share my art.
