about the artist

Timm Gillette has been actively engaged in the craft of photography for over 20 years, ever since access to his Dad's old Nikon FM made him the de facto choice for head photographer of his high school newspaper. An immediate connection to the camera lens view of the surrounding world started a love affair that has persisted through every interest in his life. Self taught for many years, Timm returned to school and earned a degree in Photographic Technology from the nationally renowned program at Washtenaw Community College in Ypsilanti, MI. He earned a 2nd degree in Graphic Design from Montgomery College. Timm currently resides in and is having a love affair with Baltimore.

Timm has combined his visual eye for traditional photography with the pixilated computer landscape to create illustrative design works rooted in the photograph. His most recent project blends his love of the theatre with photographic design for his own unique take on theatrical poster art. This advertising area is one in which Timm plans to expand and grow for the creative needs of a creative theatrical industry.

His work has been displayed in venues ranging from galleries in his home state of Michigan to PR work for the University of Maryland, Big Pop Records in Philadelphia, PA, and across the Atlantic for University Players in London and Cappuccino Music in Germany. His fine art photography was part of a collaborative multi-
media project entitled “Molding Nature: mud, stone & lens” that was displayed at Mars, The Real Estate Store in Hilton Head, South Carolina.
