High school art studies were rewarding under the teaching of Pat Bandurski, a bastion of Art Education in WA. Tim’s university tutors included Brian Blanchflower, Penny Webb, Ben Joel and Doug Chambers. Upon completion of his studies Tim worked as an illustrator, graphic and set designer for a Perth theatre company, book publishers and educational institutions. With graphics and educational design experience Tim took up working for a graphic design and publishing company.
