Artist's Statement

I like to make art because it makes me feel great and helps me feel better when I’m down. My work is abstract, and therefore people see different things in it. Some say they see a tropical forest, others see grass in a prairie. People always ask me, “What do you see in it?” I say, “I’m not here to tell. It’s up to you.” Each person can make a guess, there’s no wrong answer.I feel very happy and excited when I look at my artwork. I see my gifts and that I work very hard. Even though I learn slower, it helps me to be more considerate towards other people. It helps me lose my perceptive disability. Before I was an artist, I couldn’t see straight lines, I would always cut the grass crooked. People said I would never be able to drive, but now I have a license and I’m a careful driver. When people say people who have disabilities can’t do anything they are very wrong. I feel that if I set a good example, then perhaps more people in the world will be considerate and accepting. My dream is to be well known throughout Chicago and the world for my art. I aspire to be interviewed about my artwork on a TV newscast, so people can see my art and I can tell the world about Arts of Life and all the other artists. I am inspired by the support of my family, my close friends, and the Arts of Life. I am so glad that there is a place like Arts of Life - there should be more of them.

Process Statement

Tim has established himself as an artist who is willing to take risks in his exploration of abstract painting. Tim’s compositions take over the canvas, seeming to spread and grow organically. Unique to abstract artists is the careful intent with which he begins each painting. He starts with pencil sketches and then carries out his final complex composition from within these seemingly simple guidelines. With their sophisticated color palettes and use of repetitive form, Tim’s artwork boasts of his extraordinary artistic instincts. His paintings have great depth as well as aesthetic appeal and encourage the viewer to linger, searching for their own meaning within the layers. His inexhaustible passion to create leaves us excited to see what he will produce next.
