Join Richard Boyd Art Gallery in welcoming artist Tim Eaton a highly regarded award-winning fine and commercial artist to the group of artists represented by the gallery in Southern Maine. Tim has painted scenery for as long as he can remember from recollections and imagination. “Some writer’s experience “writer’s block.” But as a visual artist, I’m never at a loss. My mind is in a constant state of desire to create the next, the most vibrant, the most compelling image I have ever created. I cannot turn it off. Most times the problem is the opposite of the writer’s challenge, such as what is the next composition going to reveal? Which concept will satisfy that inner need to produce the most inspiring image ever? I just keep creating from the gift I was given for the sake of inspiration to anyone who sees it.
Interestingly, the images I produce are often a collection of memories and imagination that even I cannot comprehend. They just are. The images emerge from within, and they evolve as they are being created. Whether a traditional landscape or a large abstract, I have developed a trust in myself that the solutions will come, the answers are in my hands and in my spirit. My responsibility is to let them develop as they will, from my own experience, my years of experimentation and discovery.
Sometimes pieces just need to rest for a while, to be taken up again and revisited, improved upon, and given a new meaning, a new intention, a more powerful impact. Perhaps this is the fuel that is needed to prevent the “block” that many creators experience. I just don’t have this challenge. So much to draw from, and so little time…
The images I create are meant to inspire a sense of peace and hope, a sense of renewal. The way I see it, the world needs it.”
Tim holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Vermont. He spent a year under the instruction of Richard Whitney who at the time was the youngest member of the Boston Guild of Professional Portrait and Landscape Painters, and two years studying painting techniques at the National School of Decorative Art in Nice, France.
He has taught decorative painting and finishing techniques to trade groups across the country and has a specialty paint contracting business based in Stamford, Connecticut where he currently works with several designers, fellow contractors and architects creating works to meet specific size and color requirements.
Tim is the lead scenic artist and principle at Delphia Studios Brooklyn, NY, president and owner of Beaux Arts Studios, Katonah, NY.
