Tyler Burton creates sculptures and installations that explore environmental issues such as plastic, shelter, glacial melt and wildlife habitats. In her Fossils of the Future series she explores our dependence on single use plastics through large layered monioliths and mini-liths, as well as castings of plastic products. Her larger than life figurative work considers the human or cultural experience from individual journey to social commentary. Large figures and migratory birds in abstract form make up the series SOS, a look at the Salton Sea and California’s water issues. Tyler is inspired by the solitude and quiet of the desert and both simple and found materials..


Tyler received her BFA from Brooks Institute of Photography and is the recipient of six Artists’ Residencies at The Banff Art Centre in Canada and one at Buffalo Creek Art Center in Nevada. She is represented by several galleries in the U.S. Her work is collected nationally and internationally and has been exhibited at The American Museum of Ceramic Art and The Whyte Museum of Canada. Burton lives and works in Los Angeles and Palm Springs CA.
