Tim Horn finds beauty in the everyday, seeking out old buildings, cars, trucks, and landscapes that speak strongly of places to which he is connected; Northern California, Vermont, and coastal Maine. His work develops from direct observation and plein air painting allowing him to convey his immediate response to his subject.  His mastery of portraying the play of light and shadow, the distinct look of daylight hours and those of the night add familiarity, nostalgia and a sense of narrative to his paintings. He seems to live in his compositions and be part of the story.

“Purple Haze”, Horn’s solo exhibition on view July 26th through September 10th at Edgewater Gallery on the Green features scenes of the Bay area of northern California, Maine, near Monhegan and rural Vermont, a place where family connected him to the landscape. The collection reminds the viewer of the beauty that can be found in “the ordinary”.

Tim Horn began his career in art as a graphic designer. After graduating from  Cooper Union School of Art in New York City, he found work as a designer in New York and later San Francisco. After taking a painting class on a whim, he decided to make the switch to being a full time painter. He has his studio in Fairfax California and exhibits widely throughout the United states. Tim Horn has won numerous awards for his painting and has been repeatedly featured in art publications. He is an accomplished and sought after instructor and holds workshops both nationally and internationally.
