Chloe Tyler fell in love with art in high school and within a matter of months, it became her entire life. Drawing with charcoals, painting with oils and acrylics, doing portraits, murals, figure drawing, she threw herself into anything she could get her hands on. Chloe attended the University of Georgia and studied fine art and graphic design. It was here that Chloe learned how to take her art from the canvas to the screen. Digital art introduced Chloe to a whole new world of endless creative opportunities. She went on to find her artistic niche in-between the two worlds of digital and fine art. She graduated from college in 2019 with a BFA in fine arts and an emphasis in graphic design, and is now an artist living in Nashville, TN. Chloe is inspired most by color and music—both of which are in abundance in the city of Nashville. She is very excited to see what is in store for her artistic career.  Chloe spends her free time painting in her tiny reading-nook-turned-studio in the corner of her room, as well as looking for other people’s dogs to play with (at least until she can get her own).
