Short Bio
Tim's artistic endeavors began at a young age, writing, painting and sculpting. His current passion is creating art through sculpturing stone and occasionally working as a silversmith creating unique pieces as well. Travel is key for Tim as he is inspired by nature and the distinct environments each new place brings to incorporate into his pieces. Tim's works have been shown and sold in galleries and shows in California, Colorado and Maui . He wishes to share his art wherever he visits.
Statement
I see art in everything, whether it be sculpture, paintings, architecture, design, or roads. If one can look beyond the blank canvas and see the potential beauty; give yourself to it. If you believe passionately about whatever you do, I believe “that” to be art.
