Timothy Storrier , Australian Artist was born in 1949 in Sydney.

He married three times, the first in 1975 to Sharyn White in Sydney the second in 1990 to Jane Reid in London and in 2004 he married Janet Marshall.
In 1994 was awarded Order of Australia AM for his services to art. Various travel through the USA, Europe, China, and Australia and expeditions to Central Australia and Egypt triggered a fascination with vast landscapes and remote landscapes. He is intrigued by fire and the renewal and decay of material; his burning rope and fire paintings evolved in the early 1980’s and are the hallmarks of his work. The vastness and mood of the Australian landscape are represented through atmospheric colours of dawn and dusk, limitless space of the night sky and the endless horizons. Storrier gained international recognition when several of his works were acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
In 2012 he won the Archibald Prize with the faceless portrait ‘The Histrionic Wayfarer (after Bosch)’
and won the Archibald Packing Prize in 2014 with ‘Dr Sir Leslie Colin Patterson KCB AO’, a painting which was also a finalist in Wynne Prize.
