Christine Lee Tyler is a multidisciplinary, New York-based artist working in video, 2-D and 3-D realms. Her practice consists of man-made structures with the natural world to address the disorder, beauty and fluidity of human existence.

She received her MFA from Brooklyn College in 2019 and BFA from the School of Visual Arts. In 2018-2019, she was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for a permanent installation in Elmhurst, Queens and a performance piece in the Queens Art Museum. She has also been included in several group shows throughout New York.
