Juror Timothy C Tyler Irreverent or comedic, increasingly edgy with underlying meanings, Timothy Tyler's painting production is dominated by figurative work. Scores of books and magazines include his creations and his work is accepted into numerous notable exhibitions across the United States. Tim was just elected as a "Member Artist" of the Salmagundi Club, NYC, where he exhibited a second time in two months. He has been elected artist member International Guild of Realism. Of Tim Tyler, Aaron Jones, Interpretations Manager at Crystal Bridges Museum of Art says: "Inspired by the Old Masters, Tyler’s skills and technical ability to achieve high levels of realism are impressive, yet it is his visual wit, use of satire and clever method of social commentaries that he weaves into his compositions that elevate his works above practicing realist artists."
Artists of Texas has two levels of membership, Friends of AOT or those with juried Member status. AOT exhibits award juried cash awards annually for excellence. Friends of AOT are individuals or businesses who support the mission of this organization, but are not eligible for AOT exhibitions. Some are previous Exhibiting Members who maintain their signature status, but who have moved outside of the state of Texas. The juried Members of the Artists of Texas are current residents of Texas, have been selected based on a body of work, and are working in a professional manner as they pursue their art. Some have achieved Signature Status and others have gone on to achieve Master Signature Status within the organization. This jury process ensures that a quality exhibition is always maintained. The Artists of Texas hold two exhibitions per year throughout various cities within the State of Texas. One full juried exhibition is located in a gallery or museum, and a second is either a full exhibit in a gallery or museum, or a web-based member exhibit, with the possibility of the top 10 winning paintings being exhibited in a local gallery. Cash awards from both exhibitions are presented to the Artists selected by an invited art professional hired as the Juror of Awards. In addition to exhibitions, members get a web page with the Artists of Texas website, a site that gets traffic within the thousands weekly.
LOCATION: The DaVinci Artists Gallery, open for 11+ years,
promotes Texas artists to the local community of Tomball, Harris County and surrounding areas, and provides fine art education to the public. This beautiful gallery space is the heART of Tomball. See www.DaVinciArtistsGallery.com/
