Timothy Rakarich

Many moons ago I worked in the Advertising business in Chicago. Life happened and I decided to seize another line of work to make ends meet. Outside of the occasional doodle while talking on the phone I turned my back on creating art for 15 years. That is until I turned 40.

When I hit mid-life, my “crisis” wasn’t for any material items to prove I made it in life, instead I wondered if I could still draw. I decided to give it a try and discovered classes taught by Copley Society artist, Edwina Caci. After the first class I realized something... I miss painting terribly. This is what I should be doing. I became consumed with trying to make up for 15 years missed. With each portrait painting I push myself into new artistic challenges.
 

A fire now burns in my belly to see how far I can push myself.
