Brown County artist and Hoosier Master Tim Greatbatch will be the first living artist to be showcased by the Brown County Art Gallery’ s Collectors’ Showcase exhibition this October.
“ Tim is a highly honored and collected artist, who in mid-life made a calculated choice to live and paint in Brown County, as did members of the early colony,” said Lyn Letsinger-Miller, President of the Brown County Art Gallery and Museum Board.“ They left careers in cities and states at midlife and moved to Brown County to follow a career in fine art.”
