Artist biography and statement:
Timothy grew up in a cottage-industry household. His mother, Susan Beyer, supported four children with a slip cast ceramic business in her basement she started in the 80’s. Timothy would later major in ceramics at Oregon College of Art and Craft. In the years following the pursuit of higher education, he explored diverse mediums such as video/animation, kinetic wax sculpture, oil painting, collage, and printmaking. It took him 15 years of trial and error before finally taking the leap to founding his own pottery business, Maiden MN. In the wake of his mothers retirement, the artist is navigating new horizons in his career handcrafting works of art “Made in Minnesota”.
