Tim Dignam - CV

Tim graduated from the Ontario College of Art's Fine Art program in painting and sculpture in 1991. His deep adherence to Buddhist philosophy and over 20 years of artistic endeavor has resulted in a unique expression fo secret inner workings, on canvas, paper and fiberglass.

In 1993, after entering the 7th and 8th Annual International Miniature Art Exhibition in Toronto for the first time, just hoping to get in, H.T. Dignam won first prize in painting, thus starting him on his "miniature" paintings project.

You could say that Tim has artistic blood in him, being the great grandson of noted Canadian landscape artist M.E. Dignam, founder of Canadian Women's Art Society among other achievements. His painterly interests, however, are of an abstract nature, exploring the organic flow of nature's vitality, and our interrelation to it. Ultimately the value of the work is in the appreciation that the viewer enjoys when connecting to the visions and their contemplative natures.

Materials used include oil and waterbased paints, on paper, wood, canvas and fiberglass. In addition, wax, string and cloth can also be found on larger constructs.
