A Focus on Form

June 6 – July 31, 2026

Artist’s Reception Saturday, June 13, 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.

Tim Hill found artistic expression in watercolor, sculpture and photography, having been inspired by his childhood explorations into the forests
surrounding his lakeside home in Michigan. He was tutored in drawing,
printing, and sculpture by his accomplished artist father, Dale Logan Hill, a
painter, portrait artist and commercial illustrator.
Tim moved to Southern California with his family in
the 1960s. He attended UC Santa Barbara, later
moving to the Monterey Peninsula. He lived in Carmel, Del Rey Oaks, and, for a time, in Marysville,
where he was a chef and landscaper for an estate
there. He painted plein aire watercolors of the California landscape, and enjoyed sculpting and making
ceramic ware.
While photographing his garden creations for his landscaping company, he
developed a passion for photography, capturing the moods of the natural
landscape. He focused on coastal images, streams and oak woodlands, and
delighted in the images found in tide pools along the coast. In 2016 he became part of the efforts
to highlight conservation efforts to preserve the oak woodlands of western Fort Ord, photographing this very unique landscape, and exhibiting his work in group shows. Tim was also an
accomplished landscaped designer and contractor,
and won many awards for his outstanding gardens.
