Barbara Tyroler
Raised within a family value system that honors public health and social advocacy, I am most at home in community-based art projects that combine these disciplines. As an educator and visual artist, I hope that through my contributions of strong evocative visual imagery, I may play a role in building community connections. Central to my art practice of blending fine art and humanitarian work, photography and the creative arts can serve as stimulus for promoting empathy and compassion.
My portraits are project-oriented, often spanning years in production. They stretch from deeply layered multimedia collaborations and interactive collages, to the semi-abstracted water imagery of children with neurological challenges. The common thread that weaves and connects these various projects is the artistic inspiration to create, propelled by a need to express and share meaning.
For my entire career as educator/artist, community worker, and professional photographer, I have attempted to integrate that creative drive into a balanced process that remains at once aesthetic and civic.

Hi Barbara,
Good afternoon.
I am reaching out to you because I am looking to work with local NC photographers to build my artistic vision.
I am looking for creative and unique shots, approx 2-4, for a fee to promote the vision (as well as the photographer).
The vision: I’m trying to normalize having gray hair in the Indian (and Asian) community, especially for women. Doing my part to break down

Good afternoon.
I am reaching out to you because I am looking to work with local NC photographers to build my artistic vision.
I am looking for creative and unique shots, approx 2-4, for a fee to promote the vision (as well as the photographer).
The vision: I’m trying to normalize having gray hair in the Indian (and Asian) community, especially for women. Doing my part to break down this generational stigma as the transition is both empowering and isolating.
Pictures will be shared on IG @lovegreyshades and other social media as this grows with permission and credit to the Photographer.
If there is an interest and/or you want to discuss further, please email me.
I live in the Mebane / Haw River area.
Thank you,
