About Tim

Tim Reynolds was raised with a house and barn full of animals. From a young age he and his older brother, Michael, learned how to milk goats and hand-feed orphaned creatures. They each learned first-hand about the responsibilities involved in caring for other beings – about life and death, loving and eventually having to let go. In knowing the hearts, personalities, and minds of the animals who have always made up such a vital part of our family, both Tim and Michael have learned compassion and respect for others of all species and meet Spirit in everything.

Tim’s deep love for animals early on fell into synchronization with his love of artwork and innate creative ability. Now in his 30s, Tim works consistently at his paintings and drawings. Some of these are incorporated into uniquely designed furniture and stained glass. He says of the animals he paints: “I easily find [the animal’s] soul in the eyes – that is what I look for and try to convey in the portrait I am painting, because the soul is what endures.” The paintings on this site of Oliver and The Man and Dog in the Tunnel of Light are recent works of his.
