Tyler Fauvelle was born in Northern Ontario, Canada. He started sculpting when he was 8 years old, and has been a full-time, professional sculptor since 2008. A figurative style, with impressionistic touches, comes naturally to him – he likes its accessibility, its path to common understanding. Tyler sculpts in clay, and casts his work in bronze, or in a metal-infused medium. All his monumental work is cast and finished in Canada.
