Timothy Horn was born and raised in the small town of Yellow Springs, Ohio. He moved to San Franscisco after college. He explored with wild abandon the natural beauty of the nearby open spaces and was struck by the intensity of the light and the variety of landscapes in the region.
He now paints full-time and lives in the small town of Fairfax where he is drawn to the everyday scenes of the rural areas in Marin and Sonoma Counties -- the old buildings that have evaded development, the workings of ranch life, the old cars and trucks that continue on, or sometimes simply the play of light and shadow across planes of weathered color.
