His career as an artist spans some 30 years and includes owning and operating a gallery of fine jewelry for 10 years in Boulder, Colorado showcasing primarily his own designs. Timothy resided in Boulder from 1977 to 2003 and currently lives in Austin, Texas.
Timothy's interest in photography began in the late 70's. As his skill in creating precious gold and gemstone jewelry grew, Timothy found that he needed a photographic record of the unique designs that he produced for his clientele. Being self taught as a jeweler, he felt confident that he could master photography as well. Timothy was fond of using outdoor settings as backdrops for his jewelry photography. At this point, he quickly gained a deep appreciation for the color and texture of the natural world as seen through the discriminating camera lens.
He states:
"The parallel that impresses me most about jewelry and photographing nature is the lovely, saturated and pure color that is found in gemstones and in the light present in the natural world. My passion is to capture these colors on film."Timothy currently markets his jewelry to clientele in Austin, Texas through Clarksville Gallery and Wimberley Glass Works, in Houston at Hansen Gallery and J. Cotter Gallery in Vail, Colorado. He has won several awards with his jewelry design and his photography has been published in a number of trade magazines and publications. He also markets limited edition fine art photographs.
Timothy Sens jewelry and photography is admired and appreciated by many collectors. Whether jewelry or fine art nature images, his artistic statement is pleasing to behold and a joy to own.
Artist's Statement:
Photography is quite simply "a pure joy to me." I am fully enriched and feel totally satisfied when I'm behind the camera. Most recently I'm totally delighted when working in the digital darkroom of my computer in bringing my photographs to print. I thrive on seeing my images on paper as this is the aspect of this medium that I focus on and have in mind when 1photograph. Not that long ago it was a struggle to get my images to be as I visualized them in a photographic print. When printed the darks got darker and the lights got lighter! I had to rely on the talents of full-time print makers to help create my vision. Today its a whole new realm with software programs like PhotoShop and an array of affordable printers. I can see my images through from the time I trip the shutter at that decisive moment to when I've made the final test print and the image is as I saw it in my creative heart.After 25 years and exposing miles of film I still feel my heart skip when 1 see that decisive instant in my viewfinder and then capture it as a unique moment in time. The aesthetic rewards are immense to me and enrich my life in countless ways. Its an exciting time to be a photographer.
