Kelsie: Who are your biggest artistic influences? Ty: I am from Maine (was raised somewhat in the Caribbean early on in my life) the ocean, tropical colors, calypso music, and oceanic cultures all play into my work quite literally I think. Kelsie: Where are you from and how does that affect your work? He is the most recent artist we collaborated with on our Coastal Birds tent design and I was able to ask him a few questions about his art work. Ty is from Maine but his art can be seen around the world. He describes his work as playfully sarcastic and fancifully sublime with an element of innocence and heartbreak.

Ty Williams is a mixed media artist focused primarily on the sea and the coastline as his subject. Written and interviewed by: Kelsie Pearson
