Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious – Oscar Wilde
Although I’m a woman, my name is Tim. That’s the price you pay for having forward hippie parents who decide that names cannot have a gender! To ease their parents minds they did also give me two ‘typically female’ names but by then I’d got used to ‘Tim’.
How colours and fun turned out to be a lifesaver
I remember as a young child I wasn’t exactly happy. But somehow, looking at all the green leaves and the blue sky, colours in nature seem to be able to heal me a bit. Obviously I had to do the rest of the healing myself, but I can safely say that both humour and colours have carried me through some tough times in life!
As creatives do, I’ve always had the inclination to ‘do something’. Paint, write, draw, Sing (sorry everyone I grew up with), dance but no, I had a real vague sense of rhythm so that really wasn’t for me. At one point two things remained: the writing and the painting. (That being said, I do love me an insane karaoke night!)
Perspective
When I was young I was crazy about animals and that really hasn’t changed much. Strangely enough even though I grew up around cats, I used to never draw them. I’m making up for that now, as you can see: with the Delahaye, with the Alfa Romeo and of course with the Saab. That being said, did you know? Any animal can drive a car!
Yep – that is the world I live in.
