Collection: Tim Pfeiffer

Tim Pfeiffer is a representational landscape artist who works exclusively in oils. Tim has the honor of having his work included in several corporate art collections, as well as many homes worldwide. 

Tim was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1955. He attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore in the early 80’s. Soon after college, he moved to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, married his wife Anne (also an artist) and began raising their two sons, Eric and Keith (also artists). They moved to Roanoke, Virginia in the early 90’s where Anne worked as an art teacher, and Tim began his motion graphics and animation business. Tim now lives with his wife in Port Angeles, Washington where they spend much of their time painting and exploring the area full of endless inspiration. 

Tim is an artist whose serene landscapes conjure worlds concocted from the mesh of his intense love of nature and his refusal to merely duplicate what his eyes register. Though a keen observer of his surroundings, his romantic landscapes retain an otherworldly feel. His images simulate the experience of trekking through unfamiliar terrain, where seemingly mundane, stolid elements of nature incite wonderment. 

Inspired by the Hudson River School at an early age, Tim is a contemporary master of atmospheric perspective. This technique, which creates an illusion of depth, is a key element of his complex, multi-layered compositions. 

There is much to notice in Tim’s paintings, making the discovery process a key pleasure of his art. Though some may recognize aspects of nature or landscape painting per se in these pictures, Tim’s work is not easily located in the familiar world. The source of his paintings can be found more easily, if at all, in the landscapes of his mind.
