Artist Timothy Rees notes that he has always had an affinity for drawing. That natural love for drawing eventually developed into a strong interest in painting realism. Rees found inspiration in what he describes as "elegant and moody" figures paintings -- which spurred him too seek out, and study with, Jeremy Lipking at the Scottsdale Artist School.

Timothy Rees has stated that he embraces the philosophy of Novorealism -- an art movement that has been described as a, "hyper-humanistic movement at the age of disturbingly wide technological dependency." Rees focuses on compositional beauty rather than hidden symbolism.

Art critic Brian Sherwin noted the strength of Timothy's painting compositions -- specifically those involving figures -- stating, "When I viewed paintings by Rees I assumed that they had been created by someone who has been painting for decades. Rees appears to have a natural gift for working with the figure -- and his use of composition is solid."
