About
With over 30 years of experience as a professional painter, I bring a unique blend of theatrical artistry and high-level craftsmanship to every project. For more than two decades, I have served as the Charge Scenic Artist at Children’s Theatre of Charlotte and have created stunning scenic work for Charlotte Ballet, Opera Carolina, and Theatre Charlotte. I have also painted for the Reniaasance Festival, TV Set Designs, the Mint Museum and the Gray Seal Puppets!My work spans scenic design, film and commercial sets, specialty props, holiday installations for malls, mascot costumes, and even museum exhibits like those at the Mint Museum. Now expanding into specialty décor painting for homes and businesses, I collaborate closely with clients to transform spaces with magical accent walls, imaginative children’s bedrooms, dynamic restaurant interiors, and even ceilings! I’m known for being reliable, open-minded, and passionate about working together to bring your vision to life—no idea is too big or too small.

Tim did an absolutely fantastic job updating the color of our fireplace and completely freshening up the room. We were honestly nervous about going too high up on the ceiling, but Tim was confident, skilled, and handled it beautifully — the end result looks amazing and really elevated the entire space.
He was very clean, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. Tim is incredibly kind, talented, and clearly takes pride in his work. We truly enjoyed working with him and felt comfortable throughout the whole process.
If you’re looking for someone creative and skilled for a unique or “cool” painting project, I highly recommend Tim. He’s a genuinely nice person and a very talented painter.
