About Emily Tyler
Artistic Director
Myself, Summed Up In One Paragraph, Or Two, Possibly Three:
Having begun my journey as a painter in my teens, I moved into the backstage of the theatre In my professional career. Working on many props, set painting, random bit parts and pyrotechnic displays, there was rarely a dull moment. I even taught blank firing gun safety for a while. With a move to Coventry ten years ago, I have found my photography and writing have become my creative outlay. Writing blogs, becoming part of photography groups, and documenting my life as a chef in training, and then a mother.
As a mother I found a love of the alternative parenting methods, and set up a sling Library locally, teaching, running social media, photographing, and eventually working for a company in Northern Ireland organising a team to go to baby shows to promote slings.
With my health declining in recent years, and traditional work not being a possibility, I have moved back towards art as a theory, and rediscover my love of colour and form. Trying to seize every opportunity to enjoy experiences in life I again found myself writing blogs and taking photos!
