"There
was no better place to grow up than Colorado, it will always be
home in my heart."

"One
of our most resourceful
and diverse artists
...America's
definitive Renaissance Man."

Relying
on more than thirty years of art experience, Timm puts forth
a unique flavor of diversity in his fine art and art projects...with
a flare for tradition!
His art and techniques have been featured in several national
publications, including Airbrush Action Magazine. He's even
been caught on the pages of Guns and Ammo, taking part in
Cowboy Action Shooting tournaments. Timm is no stranger
to living in the rough, carrying a sidearm, fishing for
dinner, existing in concert with flora and fauna.
Timm is that rare artist who has actually been there and
done that in every sense of the word. One can almost smell
the musty presence of the young cougar Timm has brought
to life on canvas, or hear the muffled sounds of moving
water as Timm's golden rainbow trout works it's way upstream
in search of food. The term is presence and Timm is the
expert who captures it with the dexterity of his hands creating
life itself on canvas with a brush. His sense of putting
you there is unbelievable!
Believing that educating the public is as important to the
artist as creating good art, He will go out of his way to
talk about the difficulties full time American artists face
in a country where most traditional arts are being swept
by the way side in lieu of technology.
"Every
month a traditional art or craft is substantially changed
or lost to the mass appeal of computers! By commissioning
or purchasing original art or illustrations, the client
helps fortify thousands of years of artistic continuity
and creativity in our community. Human destiny cannot be
fulfilled without the record and insight of good (non-digital)
art."
Timm
is an active and sought after illustrator for sports, entertainment,
advertising, and outdoor related publications, and a renown
muralist. His list of clients and collectors includes corporations
like McDonald's, entertainers and celebrities, public schools,
and city, state and parks and recreation departments. He
is often invited to trade shows by exceptional product manufacturers
to demonstrate techniques and give lectures.
Though he now lives with his wife and 3 sons in the Blue
Ridge mountains of North Carolina, Timm owes his interest
in nature and outdoors to his early years growing up in
the foothills of the majestic Colorado Rockies. His father,
a talented entertainer, artist, and outdoorsman, spent many
hours with his children in the bush, teaching them to shoot,
hunt and fish.
"Though
he'd never admit to it, my father is a true environmentalist.
He taught us valuable lessons early in life about taking
only what you needed, leaving things better than when you
arrived, respect for nature and wildlife, and observing
the beauty in all of the facets of the jewel that is mother
earth."
Timm
owes his art development to his mothers unconditional nurturing
and his sisters integrity. "I've been fortunate in
my life to have bright and talented people around me who
have believed in my need to create."
"I've
always felt a call towards art and expression. Since I can
remember, I've had something in my hands working to build,
paint, carve, or write sensations from within to suggest
things outside."
The
artist adheres to the notion that diversity in artistic
ability is an attribute! "Who would want to drive one
car their whole life? Sometimes I paint highly detailed
and composed, sometimes impressionistic and on a whim.
Timm credits his high school art teacher from Aurora Central
High School in Colorado, Robert Neff, for inspiration in
art, and his "hero," brother Joe, afflicted with
cerebral palsy since birth, for inspiration in life.
"My
wife and children are my blessings and treasures. Without
them, anything accomplished seems undirected and without
purpose."
