Tyler Lemermeyer's work is bold and graphic, with vibrant and minimal colour palettes. He constantly explores the balance between realism and abstraction in his work, using playful and lighthearted themes to inspire delight in the viewer. 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.
