BIOGRAPHY         

TIM QUINN is multi-faceted to say the least.  Consider that he has roots in Calgary and Yakima (his grandfather was an Indian-agent and his mother was born on a reservation.)  He was born on St. Patrick's Day in Hollywood, California.  Raised in Southern California (except for a two-year detour in  Panama,) he is a Viet Nam era combat medic.

QUINN was a graphic arts major a Fullerton College in SoCal while valet parking for the Brown Derby and the Coconut Grove Restaurants.  For six years, Quinn worked as art director for Flexographic Printer in L. A., handling artwork for Hang Ten, Hobie, Capitol Records, Kikkoman, Coleman, etc.  In addition, he owned and operated Quinn's Stained Glass in Huntington Beach, CA., were be both designed and built windows for many celebrities. 

QUINN has been recognized by WA. State Traffic Commission; WA. State Traffic Safety Commission; Gov. Booth Gardner; Clallam County Sheriff's Dept. and WA. State Patrol.

       

QUINN has been a professional cowboy, a lifeguard, a sheep shearer, a camp counselor, an ambulance driver, a movie extra, an X-ray technician and --more recently, an editorial cartoonist for 3 Peninsula newspapers.  Wood carving is just another facet of this very Renaissance Man.
