2003 Governors Arts Awards

Individual Arts Patron Award
created by Sculptor and conceptual eco-artist Tim Gaudreau

Tim Gaudreau received an MFA from the Maine College of Art and a BFA from the University of New Hampshire. He is a 2003 State Arts Council Fellow. Gaudreau is passionate about the natural world and the responsibility he feels as an artist to advocate for environmental preservation. Gaudreau quotes Thoreau's Walden, "Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations." He recognizes the creation of art as one of the most powerful vehicles to express social commentary that inspires meaningful conversation about important issues.
