Timarie’s true passion lies in creating art work. She spends much of her free time developing ideas and working on pieces in her studio. Her work deals with personal documentation of life, history, memories, and people. She strives for the immediate beauty that can be appreciated before the viewer makes a personal connection with the work. The fluid line, the curve of a figure, the organic nature; these elements seduce the viewer into taking a closer look. Timarie’s work is beautiful on the surface with deeper meaning lying in wait. In addition to an active showing record in galleries and museums, Timarie has work in several permanent collections.
