Drawings and Paintings

St. Francis’ Embrace

Many of the larger sculptures Timothy Schmalz creates first take form in drawings and  paintings on wood panels. This is a very spontaneous process where ideas take form much quicker than in sculpture. A variety of pain, pencil pen and metal leaf are used.

“Painting allows me to test ideas in art, often time this is the first time I see the visual translation of the spiritual idea. Sometimes I complete the works that become stand alone works of art.”

-Timothy Schmalz
