Suzanne’s brother, a prominent and well loved New York City artist, passed away at the early age of thirty six in 2002. As a native New Yorker, Tim embraced the creative pulse of the city and all its magic, music, culture, art and design. A talented and passionate artist, Tim first established his roots in graffiti art. Soon afterward, his art would grace the first official T-shirts for the popular jam band Blues Traveler. His artwork symbolized the spirit and sound of the band and helped to fashion a unique identity for them.

As he continued his relationship with Blues Traveler, Tim also created artwork for the cover of the band’s self-titled debut album and would design countless Blues Traveler T-shirts, posters and paraphernalia. He also created posters for H.O.R.D.E., a popular traveling summer festival. Tim was also responsible for creating the original logo for the band Gov’t Mule, as well as various pieces for the Spin Doctors and murals for New York City’s Wetlands nightclub. Samples of Tim’s eclectic body of work can be viewed at galleries throughout New York City. |
As the younger brother of singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega, Tim also designed concert T-shirts for his sister, and worked together with her on her music video for the single "Last Year’s Troubles" where he shot and art-directed footage on a home video camera.

The weekend of September 10-11 will offer a rare opportunity to experience this passionate artist’s wonderful works. The exhibit will be open Friday, September 10 from 6 PM until 9 PM; and Saturday, September 11 from 9 AM until 6 PM for any guests registered for the weekend-long music event, or with "show only" tickets to Suzanne’s Saturday 9/11 Memorial Concert at Full Moon Resort. |  | |
