Creativity is a Journey: Interview with Painter Tim McFarlane

In this episode, Alicia returns as a guest host to interview Tim McFarlane about his decades-long career as an artist working in Philadelphia. Tim McFarlane's paintings and works on paper examine the fluid and contradictory nature of memory and place, with an emphasis on color, multi-layered systems and process. A 1994 Tyler School of Art graduate, McFarlane has exhibited extensively in the U.S. and been featured in art fairs in New York, Miami, Dallas, and San Francisco. He has been a visiting artist at several universities as well as participated in artist panels at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Tyler School of Art at Temple University. The artist’s paintings and works on paper have been acquired for several public collections including those of West Virginia University, Bucknell University, Temple University, and the Hyatt Hotel in Philadelphia. createmagazine.com/podcast
