[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".

[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.

Evergreen State College in 1995, and MFA from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2003.
