Introduction

Tyrown's heritage can be traced to the Wandandi Noongar people of South West Western Australia and the Ait Koedal clan from Saibai Island in the Torres Strait. He was born in East Fremantle (Walyalup) and grew up in the surrounding suburbs. He enjoys taking on new and exciting work that pushes creative limitations, allowing him to grow as an artist. Tyrown's practice includes painting, illustration, sculpture, animation, and graphic design.

The reason he creates is steeped in his heritage. He grew up watching people around him draw, paint, carve, and much more. One reason his family members were so creative was to express the fragmented pieces of culture they retained. It was also a way of passing through time and space. If you were bored, you did a drawing; if you wanted a necklace, you made one. That’s where his obsession with creating stems from. Even though a lot of his practice isn’t directly related to culture, it is why he does it. Their learning systems are through speech, imagery, symbolism, knowing and being there, and are often too complex to be quantified by letters. Most of his inspiration comes from trying to make sense of existing. He is most passionate about his practice, growing so much as a person through his desire to create.

"A special moment for me was realising I’ve formed a life that I never thought was possible, it was a just a dream. I've wanted to do this since I was a child. It’s crazy and wild that I can create something that others enjoy and get paid for it."
