Spiders

Tim has created many shapes and sizes of spiders, all harmless!! The big one or "Big Daddy" as we call him is 13 feet across. It is made of drilling rod and a redwood body. "Big Daddy continues to move when you push on it. The other spiders are made from rebar, engine parts, fire alarms and whatever it takes to make the body. The fire alarm spiders are working fire alarms, or heat sensors.

Artist's Statement

As an artist I see beauty in everything from a car part to a unique piece of wood. My goal is to make art unique and fun, something with a WOW factor. Something you want to bring everybody to see and that you won't find any place else. my art also has a contemplative side, one that makes you think about here the materials came from and their history, or what made the uniqueness and beauty of the wood. Each sculpture has a story to tell.

The materials for my sculptures are found in old tools, car parts, motorcycles, farm equipment, wood, and whatever else inspires me. One of the things I enjoy is being able to take something that has been discarded or deemed useless and bring it back to life. I enjoy creating everything from human figures to animals, giant bugs to miniature dinosaurs, fairies to dragons, from realistic to abstract.

I have had classes in perspective, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics. I take from the world around me, libraries, museums, galleries, my mistakes, experiments, and other artist's experience.

I am a desert rat raised in Mesa, AZ and then living in Southern Nevada. i love the outdoors and the activities the outdoors provide. We moved to Utah 4 years ago and are enjoying the seasons and the colors that go with them.
