Tim Jaeger
Tim Jaeger is an American artist. He currently lives and works in Sarasota, Florida.
Early life and education
Jaeger was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the fourth of five children in a family led by an Episcopal priest. He later moved with his family to Paducah, Kentucky. In 1998, Jaeger relocated to Sarasota, Florida to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Ringling College of Art and Design.Rooster series
Jaeger began his "CS" series of rooster paintings during an artist residency in Montcaret, France in 2008. The series marked a transition from Jaeger's earlier focus on the human figure to a more process-oriented approach emphasizing color, texture, and abstraction. According to Jaeger, the roosters emerged as a new subject during a period of exploration, reflecting his growing interest in formal elements of painting rather than narrative representation.Selected exhibitions, awards, and projects
