You're Invited!
Wednesday, August 6th, 5 PM to 7 PM, during the Farmers Market. Stop by to see the new works of Lane Timothy.
Lane Timothy was born and raised in the small town of Missoula, Montana where at a very young age he discovered a love of art.
Lane worked as a designer at a local t-shirt company throughout high school, which sparked his interest in graphic design. In 1993, Lane was awarded the Charlie Russell National Art Scholarship, which he used to attend the University of Montana to study art and graphic design. After two semesters, Lane took a risk and started his own graphic design company with a friend, instead of enrolling in school.
Throughout his graphic design journey, Lane continued to paint in his spare time, he never went long without picking up a paintbrush. After two more years of working in design, Lane packed his belongings, and drove back to Montana, he said,” I was growing anxious at work, because all I wanted to do was paint.” Despite some criticism from people who thought he was crazy to give up a wonderful job, with a consistent income, Lane knew in his heart he had to do what he loves or he would live each day full of regret. Lane was back in his small studio, in his small town, and he never felt happier. His first art show nearly sold out and this gave him the confidence that he had made the right decision. Work has not slowed down for him and he has been fortunate enough to spend his days painting and following his dreams.
Lane has made quite a name for himself in Missoula, his work is displayed all over town in several restaurants, banks, retail stores, the University, not to mention in numerous homes throughout the valley. His appeal does not end there, his paintings can be seen in collections throughout Seattle, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Salt Lake, Europe, and Japan.
