Timothy Cunningham was born in South Carolina in 1983. After being raised in Great Falls up to adolescent years, he has since lived in the Seattle, El Paso, Norfolk, San Diego, and Greenville areas. Now residing in Greenville, SC, he continues his journey as a professional artist which began at the age of 16 when he was commissioned to design and paint a large mural on the exterior of a Wells Fargo Bank in the El Paso area after campaigning for many years for his mother to allow him to accept such paid projects. This initial project hooked him into the profession that excited him since he was a kid. His study as a fine artist has driven him since. Timothy is also a Marine Corps Veteran of the war in Iraq. With many commissions & exhibitions over the years, he still works to master his skills as a fine artist with oils, water, acrylic, and charcoal, predominantly in the 2D arena, as he believes that life is just one long class period of learning. His work is held in private collections nationwide and even international. Timothy, and wife Marissa, are the owners of Wine & Design with studios in Greenville & Spartanburg SC. He is very passionate about his teachings while looking forward to what the future brings in the arts industry, and to what he can contribute to the arts industry in his surrounding community.
