Tyler Berry (b. 1994) was raised in the backwaters of rural Connecticut. He was born in the sugaring shack on a sugar maple plantation. Spending his youth laboring on the plantation, collecting sap, boiling and refining the raw material into Grade A light amber syrup, Tyler found him uniquely positioned to pursue classical art. Receiving his BFA in 2016 from the University of Hartford, he would work as an animator in Greece and then Poland on the feature film Loving Vincent. During this formative year, he immersed himself in the work of the Old Masters, studying and copying in the museums of Europe.

A graduate and now core instructor of Grand Central Atelier’s four-year core program, Tyler currently lives and works in New York City. His work hangs in collections internationally, throughout the US, Europe, Japan, and China. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in group shows throughout New England, New York City, and Europe, notably at Salmagundi Club and Sotheby’s in NYC, and the MEAM in Barcelona.
