TIM BOLT

Tim is a native of South St. Louis city, Holy Family parish,  just  south of  Tower Grove Park and Roosevelt High. 

 

Tim previously lived in  DeSoto MO, Dutchtown,  Holly Hills (27 yr), and Lafayette Square   Tim  and  his  wife Laura VonderHaar are now downsized in beautiful  Downtown St. Louis in the historic Arcade Building.

​

After a long span of not painting,  Tim  went  back to  watercolor,  pen and ink,  in 2011, to  creatively  reflect  the  world  around him.   Most appealing is the subject close at hand, that being St. Louis City. The St. Louis  city scape  has  such a  wide  variety of  look,  feel , color, character and  history.   Interesting subjects can be found in the most common of St. Louis City landmarks.  Some of Tim’s subjects may not seem particularly noteworthy at first but these are places and sites that are close to the heart and history of those who  know  and love St. Louis.  Common reactions to Tim’s work begin with “Oh, I remember…”, “ I used to…”, “ My mom and  dad would…”   or  even “ When I was  a  kid…” and  the personal  narrative begins.
