TD Wilson In my early 20’s I used my artistic talent to sustain me while adventurously motorcycling the US. For years I traveled with the seasons, north and south, from coast to coast, never tiring of the road and the freedom it brought. During this period of my life I lived in a tent and painted (usually watercolors) the world around me. As an avid bird watcher, I would try to incorporate local birds into my paintings. I could always sell or trade paintings for food and gas money and was free to roam wherever I wanted.
Eventually I made my way to Europe where I spent over a year indulging my adventurous spirit. However, one has to settle down some day, so now I live a normal life with family and friends, but I’ve been forever touched by my travels and the insight it gives my art.

Statement
“I capture the light and paint it on canvas.”

I’ve always painted with an intense, focused passion, one that sometimes leaves me as tired and breathless as a foot race would. My skill as an artist allows me to work quickly and capture a moment in time that could not be captured otherwise. How many times have you photographed a memorable scene, but later find the developed picture falls short of how you truly remembered it? An artist has the ability to fill a picture with those lost memories. With the combination of composition, color and value, the emotion of a scene can be brought alive again. Through my talent and a lifetime of training, I am able to capture those remembered scenes.
