featuring the oil paintings of TRader
Carolina Creations Fine Art and Contemporary Craft Gallery features oil paintings by Tim Hergenrader (a.k.a. T Rader) for Art Walk - Downtown New Bern in July. The opening reception for this show and other Art Walk events at area shops and galleries will be Friday, July 14 from 5-8 pm.
Tim is a relative newcomer to Eastern North Carolina. Raised in Nebraska, he quit his job there and moved to New Bern to paint seascapes. “I have always had an affinity for the ocean, beaches, marshes and the rest of what coastal areas have to offer.”
Mostly self trained, he has taken art courses at Craven Community College and in Nebraska. He works exclusively in oils - “I like the smell of oil paint and besides, it ruins clothes, carpets, walls, everything.”
In addition to his representation at Carolina Creations for the past two years TRader has been a featured artist at the Noyes Art Gallery in Lincoln, Nebraska and the Gallery at Racine in Wilmington. He is a member of the Craven Arts Council.
He works from photographs that he takes. “I might take a hundred photos and get one or two paintings from those photos. The photos are substitutes for sketching trips. I guess I’m a photographer who paints.”
Hergenrader works part time for US Airways, which affords him an opportunity to travel. He is planning a trip to Barcelona this year. “I hope the trip will produce a couple of paintings of the Costa Brava area of Spain.”
But, he says, a trip to Lowland is just as much fun if the result is a painting. Cape Lookout and Bear Island are two favorite haunts. “There you can still find a part of Coastal North Carolina’s unspoiled natural environment. Those are the places I really like to paint.”
