Tim Steele Design

Tim Steele was born in Duncan, Oklahoma and currently lives and works in New York City and Livingston Manor, NY. He received a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and an MFA from Boston University. He is the founder of Tim Steele Design, working in three distinct but related disciplines: art, interiors, and structures. Art With solo and group exhibitions spanning more than 20 years, Tim’s abstract pieces are shown in galleries, public spaces and in private collections around the world. He has taken the approach of "building" paintings out of panels and expanded them into three dimensions. They are comprised of adjoined and layered panels, and cut out brush strokes arranged in relief projecting from the wall. The perimeter of each piece varies, resolving itself into a square, rectangle or an irregular shape. Interiors An extension of his painting, Tim’s design work on interiors developed from art patrons desires to have spaces that highlight art while expressing welcome and comfort. His interior work ranges from NYC apartments to 8,000 square foot homes, and from private offices to entire commercial floors. Structures Tim’s upstate retreat, a farm in Livingston Manor, NY, inspired an interest in unique structures. Tim is combining recycled and new materials to create structures that are both livable and distinctive. He has created custom houses made of recycled shipping containers and is developing a line of modular container structures that can be used in urban and rural environments
