CREATIVE WELLBEING. COLLECTIVE POSSIBILITY.

Come back to the life
that’s yours to create.

Our ability to create is proof that we are not powerless.

Joy, uncertainty, change, grief—creativity gives us ways to express what we feel, see things differently, and explore our next step. Nature, the Five Elements, and your senses offer places to begin.

Our creative voice also belongs in the world. Through art, stories, and everyday acts of making, we can imagine possibilities that care for ourselves and our communities.

FROM THE STUDIO OF TYE JOHNSON

Art that makes
you feel something.

Tye Johnson smiling, with sunglasses in her hair and red earrings

Each series is rooted in a heartache I’ve lived through. I turn to nature and the Five Elements to guide me through what hurts, giving my feelings a place in color, texture, and form. In making them, I find new perspectives and possibilities for living. Explore these collections through the Five Elements: each series is gathered under the element it connects with most, while its themes may flow into others.

18 PORTFOLIO COLLECTIONS

A creative world, in all its elements.

The elemental groupings combine Tye’s choices with curatorial interpretations of her portfolio. Each series keeps its own identity. Open a collection to explore the work and the connection.

MEET THE HEART BEHIND IT ALL

I’m Tye.
A creative spirit, like you.

I’m a visual artist, teacher, health coach, and intuitive healer. My work brings color, curiosity, and creative expression into the places where we’re ready for something new.

I guide people through life’s ups and downs with creativity, art play, nature, the five senses, and the Five Elements. We reconnect with the creator inside of us, make room for our own voices, and imagine how our gifts can nurture both our lives and the world we share. We build relationships with ourselves, our senses, our creativity, and the materials we explore—with curiosity, tenderness, and time to let trust grow.

Let’s make room for your color.
