Artist - T.S. McFadden - Painter
To create his art, Tim uses elements of both the linear and the organic world that surrounds him. "This venture into landscape began with three pencil lines quickly drawn on paper," he explains. "As the first tree began to grow I realized that after years in the mountains, the trees had decided it was their time and so I obliged." Transitional and progressively more representational, the current show exhibits the creative tension underlying the struggle of the artist's stray from the abstract, making this is an important body of work in McFadden's exploration.

The energy in his work comes from a desire to widen the path of his creative journey. He feels a certain affinity to the East, which often influences his handling of space and color. Using layers of color to create an inner world, he often adds organic and graphic elements to invade, conflict or direct the calm. To create his art, he uses elements of both the linear and the organic world that surrounds him. He considers his creativity intrinsic and his pronouncement of it solely environmental. He is a painter and a sculptor, a published author, a writer of poetry and music, a furniture designer and whatever else the moment he is living in requires him to be. He works on both paper and canvas, and the mediums are often mixed. He likes experimenting with egg tempera, a paint made by mixing dried pigment with egg yolk.
