Inspired by the Bay Area Figurative Movement, Mulligan blurs the line between abstraction and realism, transforming everyday scenes into wondrous plays of color, line and form. In "Blue Palm Shadow", the artist uses crisp lines, geometric shapes, and vibrant colors to capture the California light and landscape.

Timothy Mulligan attended Sacramento City College and received a degree in Fine Art from California State University, Sacramento.
