Interview
Timmy Morris
Timmy is a self-taught abstract artist based in St. Simons Island, Georgia. After a recent bipolar diagnosis, he returned to painting as a form of emotional expression. Balancing a corporate career and family life, his work offers raw, authentic glimpses into his inner world. His portfolio is available at www.timmy.art and @art.timmy.art on Instagram. Timmy's intuitive approach to abstraction blends vivid tones with somber hues, reflecting emotional highs and lows. His layered textures and spontaneous brushwork create a visual language that speaks directly to the viewer's emotions. One recurring motif-the circle-appears throughout his work, symbolizing unity, emotional cycles, and healing. Despite exploring difficult themes, Timmy's work carries a quiet hope. Light often breaks through darkness in his pieces, symbolizing resilience and recovery. Timmy paints not for profit, but for connection. His art stands as an honest witness to a deeply personal journey-one that invites viewers to feel, reflect, and embrace emotion without apology.
“In the vibrant swells and raw textures of my abstract compositions, emotion takes on shape and color. My work, born out of personal transformation and therapeutic self-expression, pulses with a fearless honesty that captivates the viewer. Each canvas feels like a visual diary - pages of mood, memory, and movement layered in pigment and possibility. What distinguishes my work is my intuitive use of color and bold brushwork. My pieces often oscillate between chaos and calm, between eruption and restraint - mirroring the dynamic tension of inner life. The result is a body of work that is not only aesthetically magnetic but emotionally resonant. There is a rhythm to my collection, as if the paintings are verses in an ongoing poem. Stand before one long enough, and you may feel not just the my voice - but your own reflection inside the abstraction. This is not art that dictates; it invites. It doesn’t tell a story - it awakens one. Whether displayed as a single focal point or in sequence along a gallery wall, my work demands presence. It asks viewers to slow down, lean in, and feel. This is more than abstract art. It is lived experience, transformed.”
