BIO:

After attending the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hoschule fur Agawandte Kunst in Vienna. Tm went onto receive a BS and a BFA from UW and a MA from SCI-Arc in Los Angeles. He has spent most of his career as an artist working to develop techniques attributed to painting and drawing then applies them to unrelated materials.

Tm's primary source of material comes from recycled and reclaimed material, often found on the street. He has always sought out the unexplained, the curious, the strange, and the undefined within popular culture. Searching to reexamine and question systems and meanings that usually go unnoticed and are taken for granted, his investigations have led him to the disciplines of science, medicine, literature, popular and not-so-popular culture to explore the polarities and interpretations of belief systems.

 Recent Activity: Tm's art has been published in Art Ltd "Pulse", (July 2007), Angeleno, "Pattern Language and Paper Cuts" (July 2007), New Angeles Magazine, "Cutting the Crap" (Aug 2007), SPACE magazine "The Infinite Paper Palette" (Aug 2007), Carnegie Hall's Playbill (Feb 2007). 2007 his piece "Santa Ana Winds" was published in the book  "Best of California Art" (2^nd place). Recently an interview was featured in the Spring/Summer  issue of Be Which Magazine. In 2005 he sold a collage entitled "Chiasma", through Christies- Los Angeles. In April of 2005, He was included in the "California Emerging Artist " Show at Gallery Yormagil. The Jurors for this award were: Catherine Opie (Artist), James Elaine (UCLA Hammer Museum Director), Andrea Feldman Falcione (the Ovitz Family Collection Curator),Howard Fox (LACMA Curator- Modern & Contemporary Art), Deborah McLeod (Christies Vice President- Contemporary Art). Lastly, Tm has also created a series of collages for Moby's "Spiders" video. He's had numerous solo and group shows throughout the US and Europe and currently lives and works in Los Angeles California.
