Mrs. Patricia Ann Timbrook, RIDGELEY WV
Member Since January 2017
Artist Statement Since the 70s, Pat’s husband, Fred, Son, Freddy; and Daughter-in-Law, Kristin have traveled nationally and internationally to a host of cities together for both family trips and business meetings/events associated with the automotive industry, now TIMBROOK AUTOMOTIVE, operated and run by our son, Fred.
Hosting many missionary friends for over forty some years has kept the Timbrook home busy, fun,and informative through connections to Panama, Brazil, the Philippines, Russia, Venezuela, Colombia, Africa, Mexico, Thailand, Chad, as well as ministries stateside.
Pat uses her art as a “MISSION”—that, is by staying involved in her family’s lives, working in art-related events/charities, and helping to support local church ministries, through which she can find new opportunities to connect with professional people and meet old and new friends. She further describes her personal meaning of ART-AS-A-MISSION as these three things:
#1.MISSION— can be an Assignment: How? to enlighten other people to what her art means.
#2.MISSION—can be a Delegation: How? to help other artists to hone their skills and to continue their journeys.
#3.MISSION—can be a Call: How? to pursue her God-given abilities and talents.
Since 2020, in a newly built home, with a new art studio, Pat continues to paint abstract acrylic works on canvas, and has created several abstract 3-d art works as well. She posts new works on her Facebook page and Instagram websites.
"Recognitions for my work (national, international, local, and regional) have resulted in a number of ways--from a BEST OF SHOW, to a First Place,
to honorable mentions, to exhibition in the 2016 LONDON BIENNALE, in which Timothy Warrington, in his critique, stated this:
“Patricia Ann Timbrook’s completely unique, fluid, and audacious style conveys a mystical aura of pure artistry reminiscent of the Great Masters of the past. From the more innocent vase of flowers to the deeper evocative abstract painting, Timbrook illustrates an increasing sensibility towards the decorative qualities of colours and forms that becomes the point of departure for an almost philosophical art.
She applies paint in delicate and soft strokes and builds compositions in warm fields of colours, enlivened by an endless enthusiasm in a creative investigation that moves the artist to explore the imaginable harmonies and contrasts with colder shades. The effects that she achieves generate a stunningly expressive outcome that fluctuates between abstraction and reality. Timbrook’s paintings vibrate by virtue of her sophisticated brushwork that purely exalts every pigment. The floral compositions magnify the still-life genre, evoking comparisons with Monet’s distinctive style.
Similarly to the mature Impressionist developments, Timbrook’s artistic evolution departed from explicit depictions of forms and linear perspectives before moving to innovative experimentations that lead her to represent incredibly lyrical “bouquets” of unconventional abstracts. Thus, the emphasis in Timbrook’s paintings shifts from delicate vases of flowers to intellectual studies on the qualities of light and the atmospheres in the scene. In fact, each striking hue conveys an emotional impact that is totally unusual in traditional still-lifes. Patricia Ann Timbrook’s figurative subjects are painted with emphatic virtuosity and fine attention to the sensitive effects of colour on the spectator’s soul. However, the great brilliance and depth of her transcendent abstracts is what really brings her canvases to ‘life’.
In fact, the sinuous and intellectual lines intertwine in a storm of magical forms, while the shadows are suddenly transfixed by lighter shades. The abstract surroundings are animated by rich rainbows of colours that appear as the accomplished synthesis of the subconscious journey of a skilful artist in constant evolution and metamorphosis. Patricia Ann Timbrook’s pure spirit and art form are an authentic and rapturous gift to the world of mode
