Born and raised in the small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio, Tim graduated from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in 1984, where graphic design was his primary focus. After finishing school, he worked at several design firms in NYC before moving to San Francisco in 1992, where he continued to work as a designer.

Tim took his first painting class in 1998, followed by another in the fall of '99. and within a year was completely hooked. He began painting more and more, and doing less and less graphic deisgn. In the fall of 2006 he closed his design business and now paints full time. He participates in about 4 annual group shows, is represented by 3 galleries and does a handful of commissions every year.

About half his work is done on location, or "plein air", and the rest is done in his studio from studies or photographs.

Tim lives in Fairfax with his wife and 2 young sons, teaches several plein air workshops every year, and paints all over the Bay Area and beyond.

We will stay in Beaune, the wine capital of Burgundy and centrally located in the magical Cote d'Or. Beaune is famous for its numerous wine cellars, great restaurants and cafes, its 15th century "hospices" and masterpieces of Flemish-Burgundian architecture.

We'll visit the chateau of Gevrey-Chambertin located between Dijon and Nuits-Saint-Georges where we will paint in the vineyards of this 1000 year old chateau, take a tour or their cellars and taste some of their special grand cru and premier cru wines. We will be visiting a variety of locations discovering many of the profound cultural and gastronomic charms Dijon has to offer, the 'perfect' village of Besançon with its remarkable art museum, the mountaintop villages of Chateuneuf-en-Auxois - home of some great views and even greater Boeuf Bouguignon.

We are lodging only a 5 minute walk into the center of the town of Beaune.

Dinners will be in Beaune where we'll have a nice selection of some of the region's famous gastronomy. There's nothing like a meal of Boeuf Bourguinon accompanied by a hearty Burgundy wine to give you a taste of the very heart and spirit of this fabulous region! I'll be coordinating our travel plans
