Timothy James Standring

Timothy James Standring has focused on small scale works in watercolor and oils, paying gimlet-eyed attention to the poetics that both media can express.  Aspiring to sustain a balance between close observation and exuberant handling, Standring is as sensitive to his materials and techniques as he is to the recurring themes he paints.  He has found inspiration in a wide variety of artists from Edgar Degas, John Singer Sargent, Joaquìn Sorolla, and Andrew Wyeth.

Standring has exhibited thrice in the juried 10 x 10 x 10 exhibition (Tieton, Washington), and in the 2022 and 2023 Coors Western Art Exhibitions.  One of his monographic exhibitions was reviewed by the national critic Ray Rainaldi; another was cited in Fine Art Connoisseur. Standring, whose works reside in private collections across North American and Europe, also conducts a watercolor painting workshop at the Lunenburg School of Art, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia in September.
