Ongoing Programs for Adults

BROKEN HALO: Is the creative identity of Tyler Mewhinney. His art challenges you to see the World differently: louder, brighter and more Alive! A visual artist whose work bridges the ethereal and the emotional. This exhibit is rooted in personal experiences and spiritual reflections, Broken Halo’s exhibit transforms moments of love, loss, and memory into vivid dreamscapes. His imagery— inviting viewers to feel rather than simply observe.

Love Forever / Forever Love, was captured during hospice care for his father-in-law and features their wedding flowers— Daisies glowing with white purity and a burning red heart. Through psychedelic hues and soft blurs, he creates emotional portals that honour the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. Broken Halo’s art is not just seen—it’s felt. It speaks to those navigating grief, celebrating love, or searching for meaning in the spaces between. His work reminds us that beauty can bloom even in the hardest places, and that halos, even when broken, still shine.

View Tyler's art during the Bridgenorth Library's open hours in October.
