Eyes on Nature: Works by Tim Phelps
June 7 – July 26, 2025
RAM welcomes artist Tim Phelps home to Richmond with a 2 gallery exhibit, Eyes on Nature: Works by Tim Phelps. Phelps is a Richmond High School graduate who pursued a careen in the arts. Phelps has been a medical illustrator for over 38 years. For the past 8 years creating nature mandalas has been a personal quest. Phelps says, “It further defines the joy I have had for the entirety of my life fascinated with and interpreting nature in pen and ink prints, animal doodles and cartoons and now full color representational nature mandalas. The essence and act of mandala creation has pulled me in and delivered just as advertised. Mandalas are engaging, thought provoking, meditative, and joyful tools. Their swirling patterns and colors and rhythmic repeating nature feel fulfilling. Finally, it is the actual creation of individual art assets and placing them in repeating mandala arrangements that brings focus to my objective—a combination of Fun and Fine Art!—defining and completing my “art circle.” Phelps work will hang in the Paul and Pat Lingle Gallery and the Patricia Quigg Lakoff Gallery.
