About Me

- Tim Malles Art Studio
- Gainesville, Florida, United States
- Astronomy themes, landscapes and public art are some of the targets of my work. These are the best of times as we stand on the threshold of unprecedented discovery in space. As a space artist, I am grateful for and inspired by the amazing images of faraway places that the great telescopes of our generation have given us. As a plein air painter, I am inspired to quickly capture light, color and movement with the focus on our rapidly changing environment. As an artist within the live public art venue I am inspired by the opportunity for creativity, spontaneity and exchange.

All a Florida artist can ask for is here at this magical spring with its magnificent setting on the Suwanee River. I've been coming here for over 30 years now and although there have been some very dramatic changes, it is still an amazingly beautiful place. The view into the spring is perfectly mesmerizing and you will not find a more prominent boil and rise on any other spring in the state. Sunlight pierces the emerald hued crystal waters, striking the bottom and illuminating tiny shells at a depth of 35 feet. The boardwalk along the spring run and the house out in the river are the most soulful places in the state. We artists, and especially those who have been around long enough to see the changes, need to do something to bring attention to the degradation of our springs and the threat to our water and future.
