"I want to create objects that reflect small moments of raw beauty in the natural world." ~ Tim Harding

Tim Harding is a Minnesota artist with a career spanning almost 50 years. He is an internationally renowned fiber artist and uses silk and (a complex self-developed free-reverse appliqué technique) to "paint" with fabric ... "My late wife and long-time collaborator, Kathy, gave me a deep appreciation of textiles, taught me to sew, and inspired me by example to create in a much more intuitive way." ~ source: Interview with Harding by Art Source Gallery 2024.

His work is in the collection of the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Cooper-Hewitt Museum, Museum of Arts and Design, and the Minnesota Museum of American Art.
