Timothy Dyck grew up on the prairies, where the big skies and open spaces inspired his artistic development. This eventually led to an MFA degree in Montreal, and part of that experience was an apprenticeship in bookbinding. Now Tim is a bookbinder living in Durham, Ontario. He is on the executive committee of the Southwestern Ontario CBBAG chapter. He can be found at colourjar.ca
