Art That Inspires: One-of-a-Kind Pieces and Workshops
Tyree Dworak Art has drawn inspiration for her work from the world around her throughout her career as a visual artist. From painting bucolic farm scenes and animals to sculpting woodland creatures, she has made a large variety of things over the years. Practicing with such a variety of media has given Tyree a strong foundation for the work she now creates. In the last few years, she has found a home with ceramic sculpture. Tyree creates figures in clay and has cultivated her own style of slip application to create texture while using her painting background for a variety of surface treatments. Tyree deftly combines skills and materials across mediums to create stories with her whimsical sculptures. Inspiration might spark from a found object or some personal tale. Regardless, the feelings Tyree portrays are universal: humor, joy, curiosity, loneliness, love. Tyree’s work invokes a feeling of kinship in her viewers: they are part of her world and she is a part of theirs. Visit her account here to explore the pieces currently for sale.
My Gift Picks: Give the Gift of an In Person Class
What better gift than the gift of learning? Tyree offers several in person classes throughout the year including an upcoming ten-week study of the human head starting early next year. This sculpture class explores the study of the human head & is tailored to enrich beginners and experienced artists alike.
