TIM CATON
Acrylic on Canvas

Tim "timbo" Caton is a native Californian born in 1954 and spent the
majority of his first 30 years in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay Areas.
He has lived and worked in San Diego since 1984. "I am a painter who paints
paintings. I love the art of children and the mentally challenged. I love to
hear the viewer say-I could paint that or my kid could paint that! To me,
the viewer is making a connection with my work, something I greatly
appreciate."

Tim currently makes a living as a graphic artist at Point Loma Nazarene University, freelance illustrator and painter. Tim has studied exclusively for the past four years with Reed Cardwell at the Athenaeum School of the Arts in La Jolla. "My works are a study in line, color, shape and texture, painting as the object and emotion as the subject. I am inspired by the abstract expressionist, bay area figurative and the modern jazz-hip hop movements. My work is about me and my life. They are visual representation of my beliefs, faith, dreams and opinions."
