Tyler Alpern
My formal education took me from Los Angeles to Rome, and back to Colorado to earn my MFA with life altering experiences in between. My portrait of Yma Sumac was featured on the cover of her biography. The bracelet she is seen wearing on the Peruvian stamp honoring the centenary of her birth now graces my own arm. I’ve authored some books and had numerous exhibitions of my paintings. The Library of Congress has preserved a digital archive of my work and career because of "its cultural and historic significance." My works and collaborations have been included in exhibitions at the Kinsey Institute and are in their permanent collection as well as belonging to the Museum of Boulder.
