Tim Shuker-Yates has been a community artist since the nineteen nineties. Following a period where he spent more time organising than delivering creative workshops, he moved into youth work around 2010. This rekindled his creative practice and took it into a new direction, working as a street artist and looking for mural commissions for himself and to share with some of the young people he worked with.

​

Now, he mixes his own creative practice with workshops and projects. His own work now adorns walls all around Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, having completed independent commissions for both primary and secondary schools, doctor’s surgeries, gyms and tattoo studios. However, recently he has changed tack by employing spray paint to create intimate, atmospheric pieces, evoking the wide-open spaces, tranquil skies, and subtle textures of the East Anglian landscape.
