TIM COLLOM

Among the many regions of the state that inspire his work are Lake Tahoe, Carmel, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, and his hometown of Sacramento. Tim’s paintings capture the energy of the places and people he has experienced throughout the Golden State.

A California native, Tim grew up in Redwood City before traveling south to attend California State University, Long Beach. In 2000, he moved to Sacramento for what he thought would be only one year. But he never left, and has since put down deep roots in the Sacramento community. Tim found success as an artist through an unlikely path, first as one of the Sacramento region’s most successful realtors. His artistic career began as a humble hobby and a pure love of painting. Over the past decade, growing interest among collectors and fans alike has helped propel his work to wide popularity. Today, Tim is a beloved artist in the Sacramento region.

Found in over 75 collections within California and beyond, Tim’s art is often described as positive and upbeat. His subjects include landscapes, everyday life, and a wide range of animals. Tim primarily works from memory to create his pieces, a technique that allows him to achieve their bright, dreamlike qualities. Much of Tim’s work is created using a “wet-on-wet” application of oil paint, resulting in rich, expressive strokes of color.

Tim is generous in his support of community and philanthropic efforts. He regularly donates paintings to a variety of organizations for fundraising auctions. He also loves working with children, and regularly volunteers as a guest art instructor in classrooms across Sacramento.

You can usually find Tim working late into the night in his home studio, getting lost in his craft, or, as he describes it, “dancing with the painting.”
