Artist's Biography
Tim Perkins is a native of central Arizona where he grew up in the
shadows of the beautiful red rocks of Sedona. At an early age he entered
the Air Force and spent the next twenty years traveling all over the world.
As fortune would have it, one of his tours allowed him to visit the Louvre
Museum in France where he was awe struck by the artwork of the early
masters.
This encounter in France inspired Tim to begin studying the works of the
artists he admired most. "I was immediately drawn to the dramatic works
of Leffel and Kreutz. The power of the light in their paintings was very
attractive to me and I knew immediately I wanted to paint in that style."
Tim dove in to studying every book, video and painting he could find and
began refining his own talents through "miles of canvas and trial and
error." He received his first taste of formal training when he attended a
workshop by Gregg Kreutz at the Scottsdale Artist School in Arizona.
Shortly after the workshop, Tim entered his first show which was a juried
event at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Much to his
surprise, he won the Director's Choice Award for "Best Body of Work."
Since that initial show, Tim has won numerous awards in many shows and
exhibitions. Most recently he won First Place in Oils at the Best and
Brightest Show at the Scottsdale Artist School and was selected as a
finalist in the David A. Leffel Still Life Excellence Award international
competition. His paintings now hang in the homes of many collectors
around the world. Tim believes… "the pursuit of great art is a never-
ending, totally frustrating and wonderfully enjoyable adventure."
