Commissions

If you want to acquire a Tim packer original but can’t seem to find the subject matter you are interested in at the size you really want we would be happy to work with you to fulfill your desire. We don’t follow the traditional commission model where the client makes a deposit up front and then gives very specific instructions about the painting they would like. We have found that this places an undue amount of pressure on both the client and the artist, often resulting in a painting where neither party is satisfied.

We prefer a much more informal process where the client refers to a painting or series of paintings that Tim has completed in the past and indicates what size they would like. Tim will complete a painting with a similar subject matter and a similar look and feel to the referenced painting. The client then has first right of refusal on the finished piece. If the client declines then the painting just goes out into our regular gallery rotation.

In this process it is important to understand that Tim is not creating a painting for a specific client. The absolute worst thing that can happen during the painting process is for the artist to be thinking, What would the client like? when making decisions. This is why we accept a minimal amount of input from prospective clients. Tim then goes on to create a painting for himself that he thinks the client might also like. The question he asks himself during this process is not, “What would the client like?” but rather “What will make this the best painting possible?”

The Team

Tim Packer Fine Arts started as a one man show in 1997 when Tim was still a detective with the Toronto Police Service, painting in his spare time. In 2000 he resigned from the Police Force to pursue his art career full time. In 2010 Tim’s wife Diane left her career in banking to join the business. Diane now handles all administrative and financial aspects of Tim Packer Fine Arts.

When Tim first began publishing giclees he had to learn all of the technology and complete all aspects of publishing himself. As the demand for the giclees grew this resulted in him being away from the easel more and more. In 2012 Tim’s eldest son Cameron began working with him during the summers when he was home from University. Cameron mastered all elements of the publishing process and took over that aspect of the business. In 2015 Cameron graduated from Sir Wilfrid Laurier University and came to work with us full time. He is now responsible for all aspects of giclee publishing as the well as the youtube channel, all social media and marketing. This has allowed Tim more time to do what he does best… paint!
