Timothy Wadsworth
Brief Biography
Born March 27, 1959
Tim Wadsworth has been drawing and painting since early
childhood and worked with a wide variety of mediums in multiple forms. Early guidance and influence came from his grandmother
and by the self-study of many admired artists and works. While in school, most of his focus was on technical drawing and drafting
but there was always a desire to work with the freedom of sketching and watercolors.
Tim studied Art at Slippery
Rock University and completed his BS in Business Administration in 1981. Combining business interests with artistic ability
found him opening the doors of a small business that offered commercial art services to the suburban Philadelphia area and
beyond. Projects ranged from graphic design, murals, gold leaf, hand-carved signs, lettering, to commissioned paintings. He
ran this business for 15 years before joining the corporate world.
First published in 1991, Tim was able to gain
broader exposure and recognition by distributing his fine art prints to regional galleries. This in turn, lead to displaying
and selling original work in local galleries and opportunities to participate in art shows and events. His work is included
in many private collections. Tim was also the "artist in residence" for Montgomery County Town and Country
Living magazine - painting the covers of the magazine since the Fall of 2004.
Working primarily in watercolors,
Tim Wadsworth's subject matter gravitates to the Pennsylvania landscape and often focuses on historical architecture and timeless
rural settings. More recent works include the figure and an expansion of mediums to oils, acrylics, and mixed media to accomplish
a higher degree of realism.
Tim paints in his studio in Montgomery County, PA.
