[Statement] Danielle Dean Palmer’s work depicts a world between times. She uses a blend of old and new image making techniques to reveal a primal and personal vision of nature in its most elemental form. Her elegant compositions are evocative of specimens collected from a memory of encounter, an experience of something eternal and inextricably of us. They are works of discovery unveiled with a subtle lens.

[Statement] I fell in love with photography at a young age, readily embracing the serenity and calm I felt with a camera in hand. My subjects are rewarding and a constant source of inspiration. With so much to experience and observe, I am grateful for the beauty around me and the chance to share my view with others. As I travel, locally or abroad, I find inspiration in the smallest details and in the most striking landscapes. I am always ready and excited to capture moments full of energy and a sense of place.

Timothy Cross | New Works

Now on Show at Bilinear Art Gallery
Seattle Design Center, Plaza Suite 260
Timothy Cross, "Roses", 34"x 42", ink, oil and acrylic on UV print on canvas, 2011 [Sold]

[About] "Roses" is a series made from a photograph of Timothy Cross' mother's garden at night.  
Timothy Cross paints, sands down, and burns the UV photos on canvas. Each piece is different. The concept is about memories and their transitory states. Each is a little different. Tim Cross prefers to have them acquired in multiples. He sees a diptych as "Siamese twins".
Timothy Cross, "Roses", 17" x 13", ink, oil and acrylic on UV print on paper, 2011 (Framed) [Sold]

[Statement] I began making music in my teens and soon changed to the plastic arts, working in printmaking, clay, found objects and painting simultaneously. Since then I’ve explored many media and have discovered that drawing is at the center of a kind of expansive practice that I currently enjoy. I have a strong connection to the Northwest and feel that my work is heavily inspired by the culture and landscapes surrounding Seattle.

[Biography] Timothy Cross was born and raised in Seattle and Edmonds. He received his B.A. from The Evergreen State College in 1995, and MFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. Cross has been published in New American Paintings twice.  He has exhibited at Tacoma Art Museum, Seattle Art Museum Gallery, and Sea-Tac Airport. His work has been acquired in private collections, as well as the King County and City of Seattle Portable Works Collection.
