Tim Chadwick New Zealand artist, Art Guild Member, motoring enthusiast, High School Art teacher and author tragically died on March 17th 2010. His mixed media paintings have been exhibited extensively through New Zealand, as well as New York, Australia and the United Kingdom. His paintings are held in the Massey University collection, the James Wallace collection of New Zealand art and several private collections in San Francisco, Melbourne, London and throughout New Zealand.
Tim had written and published more than a dozen non-fiction books based around his love of motoring. He was also a regular writer for NZ Classic Car magazine. His artwork often had crossovers with his motoring writing, for example, a major series of work created in the late-1980s and early-1990s was painted on second hand car bonnets.
Tim was a much respected and loved teacher at Inglewood High School and Taranaki who inspired many young artists. He is survived by his two children.
All our thoughts are with Tim's family, friends, colleagues and students in this time of great loss.
