Today’s episode is a special one as our guest is from an industry we haven’t really spoken to before - she’s an artist who Candace actually went to high school with! She has made art for some incredible people like Taraji P Henson, Chance the Rapper, Issa Rae and Quavo from the Migos, and even had the privilege to have an art piece auctioned in the Wearable Art Gala presented by Tina Knowles.
Our guest today is Tyler Clark, a 3D hair artist. As the founder of Inspire by Tyler, a brand that encompasses art, motivational speaking and scholarships, Tyler uses art as a platform to express her creativity and enjoys creating paintings that have mixed media elements such as fabric, jewelry and hair. These multi-dimensional elements, faith and black excellence are the main factors that sets her artwork apart from others and have caused multiple pieces to be virally shared around the world! Tyler’s goal is to use her art to inspire others through her journey, promoting faith, self-love and women's empowerment.
