Timothy Washington's found object assemblage art was influenced by his family and neighborhood, by his sensitivity to the materials around him and by God's own creations--which he considers his number one form of inspiration. He also acknowledges his Grandmother, who made beautiful, hi-relief quilts and blankets with little treasures tucked inside them, and his Grandfather, a skillful carpenter. In addition, the artist acknowledges a professional artist neighbor who let him handle materials when he was about six or seven, and of course, life itself. He used to walk around his Watts neighborhood and pick up objects that he could transform and incorporate into his art.

Born in Los Angeles, CA, Timothy attended received a MFA at Chouinard Art School.
