2010 Featured Artist: Tim Marsh
Exhibiting in booth D375 at the 2010 Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair

Tim Marsh's work of art explore nature's dramatic pattern, bold shapes and vivid color palette.  He enjoys the relationship between the elements within each painting which lends a touch of whimsy and the hint of a story that may change with each viewer.  For the past twenty five years Tim has arranged the beautiful elements that nature has to offer, creating visions to be enjoyed by everyone.

As an award winning artist, Tim's works have been hung in International, National, State and Local exhibitions and are included in many private collections.  His work continues to be viewed and purchased at Fine Art shows, gift shops, galleries, eBay and his website.  Tim Marsh's home based studio is located in the historic Denton Village of Van Buren Twp. Michigan near Ann Arbor and the Canton / Plymouth area.
