Abstract artist Tyson Estes began his art career at age three with crimson lipstick and a pristine wall. He has continued exploring destruction and creation ever since. He has spent decades developing his particular brand of artistic alchemy, in pursuit of discovering and perfecting the processes used to create his works. 

In Estes’ pieces, the primary focus is in the beauty of emergence; the personality imbued when a perfect thing becomes remarkable with age, wounds, and scars. His pieces represent a practice in the wisdom of letting go and welcoming nature to exert her influence; of collaboration with the Divine. This is witnessed through the unique processes of organic decay that Estes has developed; which he first initiates, then captures in time with acrylic, canvas, wood, metal, wax, acid, and paper.

Estes was born to the vast forests of Washington State, inhabited Los Angeles for many years, and now lives off-grid in the Central California Low Sierras. Estes’ works have been exhibited in Los Angeles, Dubai, New York, Washington, and can be found in private collections around the world.
