About the Exhibition:

Beauty can be found all around us. It isn’t always easy to find, and it isn’t always obvious, but it often appears in unexpected ways. Through my Mind’s Eye by William Timmins is a series of painting that intends to capture the elusive beauty of everyday life.

”My paintings are often derived from the internal thoughts, feelings and emotions evoked by beauty. Rather than convey this beauty in a conventional, representational form, I reference music, dreams, memories, nature and artistic influences for inspiration. I attempt to convey the beauty and joy in the abstract via color, shape, texture, mark making and space. I leave it to every individual to view and interpret the images through their own personal lens.” - William Timmins

Through my Mind’s Eye will be on view at Atria Center City beginning January 20th in the Art Gallery on the 5th floor, which can be enjoyed by residents and staff.
