Tim Carr:
Tim Carr has spent more than twenty-five years as a professional artists, designer and art director in advertising and marketing. He was most recently employed by Hallmark cards as an Art Director in their Loyalty Marketing Division. There he worked on house accounts as well with a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Ford Motor Company, SAKS, and Master Card, developing custom greeting cards and other customer relationship building materials. Originally from the South, he and his wife Carol moved from Kansas City to a farm just outside Athens, Georgia two years ago. He now devotes all his time to painting, sculpting and spoiling a menagerie of pets and farm animals. At the age of ten, Tim took his first painting lessons at an Atlanta YMCA. He continued to pursue painting and later earned a degree in Art and Art History with an emphasis in painting and the art of Oceania and New Guinea. From his farm he takes frequent trips to the barrier islands of the southeastern coast where he camps, sketches, paints and listens to the surf.
