Timothy Horn is a gifted artist who captures on his canvases a lovely clarity of air, light and mood in the often humble scenes he paints.  Almost all his work is done on location, in the outdoors or “plein air”.  He finds painting on location to be endlessly challenging, yet the only way to really get a strong sense of energy and freshness into a painting. He generally spends anywhere from 1 to 3 sessions on a painting, sometimes doing small touch-ups back in the studio. He has become one of California's outstanding landscape painters and a favorite at the William Lester Gallery.

Throughout his career as a designer, Tim  has always kept one foot firmly planted in extra curricular, fine art endeavors, including black and white medium format portraiture, furniture making and design, and making clocks from salvaged materials. 

Tim Horn graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in 1984, where his focus was primarily graphic design. After school he worked at several design firms in the city before moving to San Francisco in 1992. Tim lives in Fairfax, California with his wife and 2 young sons, and paints all over Marin County and beyond.
