Marie Timbers

Reclamation by Marie Timbers
Mixed Media on Canvas

Marie Timbers is our artist from Toronto. Marie's works are all abstract pieces that depict different harmonious images, thoughts and landscapes through a variety of media.

She has two series here on display which are titled as Healing Circles and Rejuvenation. Both of these series expose deep inward thought in regards to the world that surrounds us. Rejuvenation was inspired by the natural world, ". . .deep into forest shadows where evidence of rebirth, and Nature's power to heal and restore herself were evident". With the use of birch bark, Marie adds an interesting visual texture to her abstract images and allows the onlooker to consider the true meaning behind her series. The Healing Circles are a series of collage paintings that incorporate natural fibers, plant materials, hand made papers, copper wire and watermedia paints. This series of paintings concentrates on the circle in it's shape and form, but the deeper meaning of the "Circle" is also embraced. Marie states, "We honor the Circle of Life, participate in Healing Circles and we are reminded, what goes around comes around".
Common Threads is a painting of Marie's that is individually themed from the rest. The message behind this painting is spiritually powerful and deeply inspiring: "I believe we are all on the same quest for a life of goodness; searching for a path that will lead us to connect more full with others and ultimately to a place of truth and spiritual awareness. There are 'Common Threads' that run through all spiritual paths. . . eternal truths that will lead us forward to a place of onenness with the universe".
Oftentimes there is something more than meets the eye. This is certainly the case with Marie's work, and I feel the sincere inspiration behind her pieces adds to their quality and beauty.
