Human Centric, people-centered work by Tim Olson

This is Tim Olson’s first solo exhibition at Clamp Light Studios & Gallery. Tim’s work consists largely of drawing/illustration and painting combined with collage and assemblage of found objects, often with components of language.

About the Artist:
I am Tim Olson. I am a mixed media artist currently based in San Antonio who has become increasingly tired of using the third person perspective when writing artist biographies. I grew up on a small farm outside of the city of Zumbrota in southeastern Minnesota. The farm was filled with abandoned tools and equipment from previous owners in piles and sheds going back probably over a century. I think this helped feed a curiosity of things. After graduation from high school, I studied art in Bemidji, MN in the northern part of the state. It was a former logging community turned college and tourist town. There I earned a BFA in visual arts with an emphasis in painting and drawing. Since leaving Bemidji, I have moved
to Portland OR, Denver CO, Baton Rouge LA, Keller TX, and finally finding myself in San Antonio.
