Tyler Lemermeyer's work is bold and graphic, with vibrant and minimal colour palettes.

Lemermeyer draws inspiration primarily from his surroundings, often depicting objects, portraits, and landscapes of the places he finds himself. He has been a practising illustrator and muralist in Calgary since 2012, and he is always looking for new opportunities to share his work with more people.
