Tim grew up in and lived most of his life in the foothills, West of Denver, CO. In 2017, he and his wife moved to Evans, Ga to be closer to family. Tim’s artistic career began when he was 16 years old as a candle carver at Heritage Square in Golden, CO.
At 18 he started The Wax Workers candle company and for 10 years sculpted, handcrafted, and sold candles to stores across the United States. Customers included Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Graphic Arts and Designs has also been a passion of Tim’s. In the early 80’s he owned and operated King Graphics, a graphics and 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.
In addition to being and 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.”
Tim has 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.”
