Tim Quinn: R.I.P.

Tim Quinn, North Olympic Peninsula artist, was found dead in his apartment on Saturday. He was 62.

He’s the artist who painted the “Sluicing the Hogback” mural in Port Angeles. He’s also the creator of the “Olympic Visions” mural downtown, next to the fountain. He was part way through repairing/repainting the mural.

Fellow artist Jackson Smart said: “He was a tremendous artist. He did many, many private commissions for people all over. Tim was very well-thought-of in the community, and we've worked on several pieces together. A lot of people are very sad to hear this.”

Don Perry, City Council member and downtown historical tour guide, said: “His talent and personality will be missed by so many people. He will never be forgotten for as long as I am around because I talk about him on every single tour.”
