For twenty-three years later, he loved and laughed, leaving the neurosurgeons baffled and impressed. After reconstructive surgeries, and years of debilitating effects Tim lived back in the home in which we grew up in Iowa, and was cared for by my amazing parents.

Inspiration for my life and art flows directly from Tim. Tim was a born creator and became an Artist. He was attending Cal Arts for his master's degree when the accident happened. The following reproductions of Tim's work before his head injuries reflect his promising Art career and installation work. Most of the line drawings here were done post-trauma. Without the use of his left brain, breaking down his ability to function with his right side, Tim continued to make Art using his left hand.
