After being named an Australian national finalist in the 2017 Macquarie Group Emerging Artist Prize, in 2018 Tim successfully became a professional artist. In 2020 he established his own Art Gallery Studio in Mosman, Sydney Australia. Living in Mosman, which boasts 19 Sydney Estuary Bays, has brought Tim a deep connection to the rhythm, colour and life-giving force of the ocean, and inspired many of his paintings of aerial ocean abstracts. He recently curated a ‘Kingdom of Coral’ art installation with five of his aerial ocean abstracts being light projected onto the Sydney Opera House ‘Sails’ for World Ocean Day 2021.

Over recent years, many of Tim’s works have focused on our coast and ocean, our enduring relationship with the edge of the sea and the existential pressure the marine world is under. He has created pieces and collections around themes that he is passionate about to elevate ideas he believes have social importance. Recently he Founded CollaborOCEANS ‘creatives collaborating for ocean conservation.’  The vision he has for CollaborOCEANS is to bring together creatives from all industries as a dedicated collective to protect the natural beauty of our marine life, reefs and oceans. “Tim your work is good and is quite consistent in its realisation. Your paintings have that special element of capturing energy that intrinsically makes you an artist.” Acclaimed Abstractionist Painter Michael Johnson
