About the artist:
Timothy Chapman: Chapman has two passions in life - animals and art. Growing up, he'd doodle and draw fantastical creatures nonstop. As a young man, he dove into his biology studies at Occidental College and later earned a degree from Arizona State University in printmaking. But it wasn't long after graduating that Chapman embraced the career he'd wanted from the beginning as an artist. With a style that's whimsical, surreal and increasingly abstract, and leaning toward illustration with abstract qualities, mostly staying true to certain aspects of biology while tweaking a creature's characteristics just enough to stop a viewer in their tracks and perhaps cause them to crack a smile. To add to the amusement, he even titles his paintings with what he describes as "flat, dull scientific titles."
