Tim Cross was born and raised in Seattle and Edmonds. He began making music in his teens and soon changed to the plastic arts, working in printmaking, clay, found objects, and painting simultaneously. Since then he has explored many media and has discovered that drawing is at the center of a kind of expansive practice that he currently enjoys. Tim has a strong connection to the Northwest and feels his work is heavily inspired by the culture and landscapes surrounding Seattle. Tim received his B.A. from The Evergreen State College in 1995, and his M.F.A. from The School of The Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. For more information on Tim Cross, please visit his website.
