About Timothy Adam Matthews

 
 
  • Biography
    I studied Film & TV, Design & Animation at North East Wales Institute where I obtained a BA Hons Degree in 2003.  I began traditional oil painting in 2010, using photographs as reference.  My main subject matter are cats.   I enjoy painting cats and their innocent curiosity, playfulness and their humour.  I create small vignettes for the cats, incorporating my love of interiors, colour & composition.  I draw as accurately as I can, I paint slowly and I try to work loosely.  In the finished painting, the focal points, usually the cats or what they are looking at, have more detail.  All my cat paintings are varied as I like to try new ideas, but often a series of paintings do have a running theme.
