Tim Edwards

Although never completed any formal art education, I attended Oswego State University in New York as well as the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan in the early/mid-1980s. I actually lived the “starving artist” moniker which forced me to change my life’s direction and put away my dream of becoming a full-time artist. With encouragement from my wife and two daughters, the passion for creating art that was formant for nearly 25 years has been reignited. Within the past several years, I’ve been drawing and painting nearly nonstop.
If asked to classify my art, I think it would be realism with a touch of the surreal. My objective is to create thought-provoking paintings, pushing to inspire the viewer to look beyond the art piece and try to envision what is transpiring, feel an emotion, and make up their own story for what they see.
A successful piece of artwork in my opinion doesn’t leave the person as they continue on…it stays with them in some little way.
