Tim Liess spent every spare moment of his high school
years experimenting with oils, and painting landscapes, both wildlife and still lifes.
After receiving a scholarship to the American Academy of
Art in Chicago he spent four years majoring in graphic design and illustrating. At the
same time he started exhibiting his paintings at fine art shows.It was in college that
Liess discovered a particular interest in water colors. "Watercolors are both unique
and challenging due to their unpredictable nature," says the artist.
