 Tim Gaudreau is a native New Hampshire artist who is passionate about the natural world and the preservation of the environment. Through his artwork, Gaudreau advocates for environmental responsibility, the recognition of wonder and beauty in our world and generates dialogue about social issues. “I believe artists have considerable responsibility as cultural instigators to ask questions, raise issues and challenge assumptions; we must communicate a relevant vision about our world and society,” Gaudreau says. 


     
Gaudreau's work combines photography with video, new
     media, graphics and sculpture to create public art
     advocating awareness of eco-issues. Using a balance of
     humor and irony as artistic tools, he first seeks to provoke
     public consciousness as an entryway to questioning our
     relationship to Nature.  Gaudreau challenges people to
     consider their individual roles, choices and impact,
     illustrating that each individual has responsibility and
     choice.  

     Gaudreau completed his Master of Fine Arts degree through
the intensive interdisciplinary program at the Maine College of Art in 2002. Through awards such as the Artist Fellowship from the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, he has been able to continue to produce public works that challenge conventional thinking. Several commissions from the city of Portsmouth have given Tim the opportunity to create public art projects that have stimulated collaboration and community interaction.

       The recipient of a cultural exchange grants, he spent six weeks traveling and photographing in India, returning with lots of stories and over 7,000 images. In the summer of 2006, he joined Peter Randall in photographing Ghana, West Africa on the eve of celebrating 50 years of independence for the book, An African Portrait Revisited.  Previously, he traveled to Brazil with a grant from the Partners of the Americas.

       Gaudreau’s award-winning work has been featured in exhibits nationally and internationally and has been featured on New Hampshire Chronicle (WMUR-TV) and on the Front Porch (New Hampshire Public Radio - WEVO).

       Gaudreau is the 2005 recipient of the 30 thousand dollar Artist Advancement Fellowship Award from the New Hampshire Charitable foundation to support the expansion of his artistic career and vision.  Most recently, he was awarded a MacDowell Colony fellowship for 2007.
