Tim Carrington is an oil painter who focuses landscapes and figurative paintings, often mixing expressive observation and abstraction. His studio off Tiger Valley Road was part of the inaugural art tour in 2005, when Lois Manookian, a vibrant part of the county’s creative community, painted there. The studio is separated from the main house by a breezeway and it enjoys light and views from three sides.
Carrington’s work is shaped by his parallel involvement in journalism and painting. His paintings, whether landscapes or figurative paintings, blend dream-world and real-world elements, emphasizing a sense of story and mood.
His works have been exhibited in Little Washington at the Gay Street Gallery and Middle Street Gallery, at the Waverly Street Gallery in Bethesda, Md., at St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Va., and in group shows in Keene Valley, N.Y., Millwood, Va., and Christ Church Georgetown. His stories regularly appear in The Rappahannock News.
Tim is joined in his studio by Luke Christopher.
Tim will be joined in his studio this year by Luke Christopher, a “Best of D.C.” photographer and two-time winner “Best in Show” for the Virginia Press Association photo essay award. He started his career as a writer at the University of Maryland’s Diamondback. With a passion for telling visual stories via photo and video, he interned at National Geographic Television and worked as a video editor at Discovery Channel.
Luke has been published in The Washington Post, Washington Times, Washingtonian magazine, and, on his travels, produced a documentary for the Cyprus Tourist Board. He most recently has worked as a photographer, videographer and reporter for the Rappahannock News and Foothills Forum since 2016.
Covering local government meetings and events has connected him with the farmers, first-responders, local businesses, charities, schools, artists and all the other wonderful people who make Rappahannock County so special.
