Tim Taggart grew up in Brownsville, Vermont. He spent his youth hunting and fishing, and much of his adult life as a wildland firefighter while living in Nevada. After retiring from firefighting, Tim and wife Pam moved to the Boise, Idaho area with their five children. In 2019, he  began sculpting with recycled metal and ignited his creative passion. With his creative mind and skill from welding, Tim began to create his art from salvage materials and found objects. His work is designed to emphasize resourcefulness and encourage viewer engagement.

Together Tim and Pam scour for scrap metal at local flea markets, thrift stores and yard sales. Tim uses anything and everything he can lay his hands on for example auto parts, cycle components, sprockets, gears, old tools, horseshoes and metal scrap. His artistic gift is what gives a new lease of life to them.

Pam recently retired in 2021 as a teacher working with at-risk middle and high school students. Her creativity started back in the 1970’s when she used to macrame and crochet. A few years ago she decided to start up the macrame creations, knowing that it would be something of interest and a fun hobby throughout the retirement days to come. To keep with the scavenger art objective of using upcycled materials, Pam has also begun to create garden art using old tea pots, glass bowls and costume jewelry.

The metal art created is rustic, not polished or painted. “We want to create metal art pieces that are in their original, somewhat rusty appearance to give it a unique look, and also make it affordable for others to enjoy.”  Pam and Tim both have been selling their creations over the past 6 years.

Since February of 2022, Tim and Pam have been living in the town/village of Cambridge, New York. “We wanted to move back east close to where Tim grew up and where the towns have a smaller population along with beautiful views of nature.” The goal is to continue creating metal art, macrame and garden art in order to inspire others to appreciate the simple, neglected items from which our creations are formed.
