Tim Bulmer "Land of the Free" Signed, ink, pencil and watercolour, 52cm by 78cm (78cm by 103cm framed) Tim Bulmer was born in Northumberland in 1958 and as a very small boy in the 60’s he was sent away to boarding school at Bramcote in Scarborough followed by five years at what was then the tough, no nonsense, rugby obsessed Sedbergh School in the old West Riding. Art college at Wimbledon was a joy after having spent most of his school career at the bottom of a loose ruck and his determination to make it in the art world never wavered from that point on. His first proper job (after tinkering about backstage in the theatre) was as picture framer come gallery sales assistant at Forest Gallery in Guildford, he was a nifty framer but not so hot on the sales until encouraged to sell his own work. He was soon noticed by De Montfort Fine Art, one of the two major fine art distribution companies who went on to market his watercolours and etchings to an ever-increasing band of admirers both at home and abroad. Having brought up their two children in Yorkshire, Sarah and Tim then watched them move south – no reflection on Yorkshire but it felt time to make a change so they followed them and are now living in a cottage half an hour from the south coast in West Sussex where the weather is ‘a top coat’ warmer and the natives friendly. He is now heavily involved in designing large cartoon maps that are turned into limited edition prints and jigsaws. His USA map jigsaw is now available to buy through his website www.timbulmer.com or from All Jigsaw Puzzles at alljigsawpuzzles.co.uk
