Tim's Current Artistic Practice/Philosophy

 "I find moments of precious beauty in the natural world as the inspiration for my Lanscapes. I practice the Japanese tradition of Shinrin-Yoku in locations throughout the world to produce plein air studies, which I use along with reference images and imagination to produce larger studio works that evoke awe and inspiration. My landscapes are often regarded for my use of light and space.

When painting portraits, I capture the essence of the person I am painting beyond simply the physical representation. My portraits are often described as "encapsulating the entire person inside and out.""
