Tim grew up in the foothills of Jefferson County, CO and has recently moved to Evans, GA. His artistic career began as a candle carver at Heritage Square in Golden, CO. At only 18 he started The Wax Workers candle company and began sculpting and selling candles to stores all across the United States.
In addition to being an artist, Tim was a first responder from 1984 - 2012, first as a firefighter, then Deputy Sheriff, then Emergency Manager. He retired after 25 years of service and now provides Disaster Management Consulting Services around the world. “Many of my projects right now are in West Africa and Eastern Europe. We’re trying to help countries develop emergency plans and improve capabilities to better deal with disasters." I love to bring out the emotion and feeling of each character." Tim’s only been sculpting in clay since 2012. “I’ve not had any formal training in sculpting, but try and pick up new techniques from anyone I can. Sculpting faces are my favorite! I love to bring out the emotion and feeling of each character I make."
Graphic Arts and Design has also been a passion of Tim's. In the early 80's he owned and operated King Graphics, an offset printing business. Over the past 30 years, Tim has designed numerous logos, patches and brochures, and even designed the paint scheme of a law enforcement mobile command post. |
