[…] Tim McFarlane spoke to us shortly before Christmas from is studio in South Philadelphia. Throughout the pandemic, McFarlane has been working consistently as a full-time artist for the first time. Before the lockdown began, he was involved in a few projects that had not yet begun, and once things shifted another project came along. After being called back to work at his day job and realizing this would prevent him from working on these projects, he took a big step and resigned. Now he uses his time working on new bodies of paintings on panel and canvas. Along with working full-time on his art, McFarlane has sold more work this year which helped propel him toward the decision to leave his job to devote all of his time to his practice. He began working with a gallery in L.A. and received a mural commission in Philadelphia. To hear more about these projects and how McFarlane is making life as a full-time artist a reality, listen to the complete interview. […]
