Timothy Jerome Chambers grew up amidst the scents and beautiful paintings in the studio of his father, William Chambers. Exhibiting a passion for drawing from the start, he trained first with his dad and later with exemplary artists Cedric Egeli, Joanette Hoffman Egeli, Henry Hensche, and Richard Lack. Summers at the historic Cape School of Art studying under Henry Hensche introduced Tim to the language of color. "The days and seasons are revealed with color," says Chambers.
A second turning point came when Tim was diagnosed with Usher syndrome, a genetic disease that robs one of hearing and sight. The disability has not diminished Tim’s potential but enhanced it, for Tim realized that art is not merely in the execution of pigment and brush, but in the unleashing of joy. “I find the unseen more powerful than the seen. Combining draftsmanship, color, and awareness of the fleeting results in paintings that reveal time, place, and emotion. As one juror said of Tim, “This artist sees the world beautifully.”
