St James Church in Shipton, near Craven Arms, Shropshire, has a rich history dating back to the 12th century, though some sources suggest it may have earlier origins in the 10th or 11th century. The church is a mixture of medieval and Elizabethan architectural styles, with the chancel rebuilt in 1589 by the Lutwyche family of Shipton Hall.
Tim was born in Birmingham in 1962.
After leaving full time education, he decided to pursue a career in industry and was involved for 10 years in creating 3 dimensional prototypes. Meanwhile, with a passionate interest in art, he was already pursuing his hobby of painting watercolour. He was accepted by a number of prestigious galleries, including the mall Galleries and the RBSA galleries.
Tim is predominantly a landscape artist and decided in 1988 to take up painting on a full time basis and devote himself to studying and capturing the atmosphere of his surrounding British countryside.
Since then he has acquired the technical skills of watercolour painting and has developed his own style capturing tonal contrasts and textures.
Tim now passes his knowledge and skills on to accomplished artists, teaching at a Birmingham college and also as a visiting lecturer to art societies in the Midlands.
He is a member of the Dudley Society of Artists, Birmingham Watercolour Society, The Swinford Painters and has recently been selected to join ‘The Easel Club’ which was founded in 1879.
