I'M Tim,

As a child growing up in the sixties and seventies, I was surrounded by a potpourri of diverging design characteristics that ranged from mid-century modern to seventies kitsch. I've always loved the simplicity and longevity of good design.  My “mad-mod” influence comes together in my mind and is transferred into art with the help of my digital tools. I am inspired by great designers like Charles and Ray Eames who used their creativity to solve problems, create new materials and use technology to improve our lives. These designers showed us how it was possible for ordinary people to do extraordinary things with their own hands, minds and hearts. Like them, I believe that everyone has creative potential inside them just waiting to be unleashed through learning new skills or improving on old ones!

My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.

Inspiration

My main source of inspiration has always been the 1950s and 1960s. A golden decade in modernism, in which the main drive was simplicity and elegance. The Memphis design group from Milan was also a major influence. This collective had an eccentric style, they went totally against the grain, but what they invented was distinctive and provocative. I follow the path of Frank Stella whose goal for his art was "maximum impact without symbolic meaning."

Techniques

I use various digital techniques to manipulate photographs and integrate them into mixed media pieces or to distort my raw photographs.  My other technique uses these tools to recreate the classic look of MCM and Modern Art compositions- with my own unique flavor, style, and color choices.  My ideal client is an MCM enthusiast and a lover of modern abstract art.
