We lost Arkansas Artist Tim West last week. Diana Michelle Hausam has taken some stunning portraits of Tim we viewed at M2 Gallery in Little Rock. At one time, his work had been accepted at the Louvre and the MOMA.  He was a reclusive artist who walked in bare feet and used his bicycle as his transportation. His parents were writers and homesteaders living in the Ozark Mountains. He had an interesting life and it is captured on a documentary film Westland. M2 Gallery has respected and carried Tim West's art. He will be remembered as an extraordinary artist. I feel lucky to have seen Tim's work. He was amazing.
