Tim Holmes Studio

rican artist ever invited to exhibit solo at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, Russia, the world's largest art museum, where his sculptures remain on permanent exhibit. His work has gained notice among some of the world's peacemakers, from the Chinese dissident students of Tiananmen Square to the Physicians for Social Responsibility. President Jimmy Carter, the late Coretta Scott King and Czech President Vaclav Havel are among Holmes' best-known collectors. As his attention has steadily drifted from making objects toward creating stories of transformation, he's become keenly interested in fostering creative approaches to contemporary problems, particularly among growing social challenges of living together in a rapidly shrinking world. Holmes advocates for preserving rich and vulnerable human qualities amidst the tsunami of expanding technology we all experience, hoping to move the evolution of humanity toward a more responsive and sustainable world. In short he believes that art is the medicine that will heal the world.
