Tim Gaudreau is a native New Hampshire artist who is passionate about the natural world and the preservation of the environment. The recipient of several cultural exchange grants, Gaudreau has exhibited internationally including in India and Brazil. A photographic essay, An African Portrait Revisited, exploring Ghana, West Africa on the eve of celebrating 50 years of independence was published in the spring of 2007. His 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, Gaudreau first seeks to provoke public consciousness as an entryway to questioning our relationship to Nature. Through fellowship awards from the New Hampshire State Council on the Art, the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and the MacDowell Colony, Gaudreau has been able to produce public works that challenge conventional thinking.
