T.S. McFadden uses the elements of both the linear and the organic world that surrounds him to create his art.  He was born in a small town in Ohio and raised in the country.  His inspiration comes from the beaches and dunes of the Hamptons, the Hudson River Valley and the Catskill Mountains.


    McFadden has sculpted and painted since he was a child and is self-taught but for a handful of private lessons.  He studied in the fine arts, graduated from Kent State University and has spent time in Europe studying other artists.


    The energy in his work comes from a desire to widen the path of his creative journey.  He feels a certain affinity to East, which often leads him.  Using layers of color to create an inner world, he often adds organic and graphic elements to invade, conflict or direct the calm. 


    He considers his creativity intrinsic and his pronouncement of it solely environmental.  He is a painter and a sculptor, a published author, a writer of poetry and music, a furniture designer and whatever else the moment he is living in requires him to be.


    His artwork is owned by private collectors throughout the United States and Europe and can be found in fine art galleries. 


     Currently, McFadden continues to work on his recycled series “MOTHER” which debuted with great success and sold-out at the International Art Expo in New York City.  This one-of-a-kind series is unique and compelling, giving insight to the working mind of this conceptual artist.  Both thought provoking and visually powerful, it strikes a beautiful balance between logic and abstract expression.


     McFadden has been recycling and saving materials since the beginning of his career.  His longtime passion for the environment has been a continued source of inspiration for him.


      He is also currently working on a large outdoor installation from recycled organic materials due to be complete in the late Fall.  


   

Inspiration


This beautiful and gentle creature was my inspiration for 14 years.  

He was my friend, he was my son.   We lost his battle to cancer last month and I will be forever changed by his presence and his passing.   


Rescue a dog, it will change your life.
