About
Chalk Works is the trading name of Tim Chalk’s studio. Although Tim is an individual artist and sole trader, over the years he has built up a wide network of colleagues and assistants with matching and complementary skills, which enables him to take on projects of considerable scale and range of media by assembling a team expressly for the project in hand
Tim Chalk’s general work ethos has its roots in his beginnings in Community Art, and alongside his strong personal aesthetic, his willingness to discuss and adapt to his client’s needs makes him an inspiring and rewarding creative partner. He believes strongly that the enjoyment of art and high quality artwork should be a part of everyday life, not confined to art galleries and private collections. This and his interest in history as a source of artistic inspiration, based on the search for a collective sense of community identity, is what has drawn him into a close involvement with the Museum Sector
With a wealth of experience behind him, Tim has been delivering cost effective, high quality results on time, within budget over many years
