Tim Cantor began showing his paintings professionally at the age of 15 when he was honored with the [[Bank of America]] achievement in arts award. At his first show, [[Senator Barbara Boxer]] presented the award and then chose a painting to hang in the [[White House]]. The early publicity created a demand for his work. After finishing high school in Marin County, he began traveling and exhibiting his paintings in galleries and open-air events throughout the Western United States. After seven years on the road he decided to display his paintings exclusively in fine art galleries and then in 2000, Tim Cantor established Ashby Galleries. Ashby Galleries and Ashby and Alfred publications are devoted exclusively to Tim Cantor and display his work year-round. As previously stated, one of Tim Cantor's paintings is in the permanent collection of the [[White House]] and just some of his well-known collectors include Baseball player [[Bob Scanlan]], football player [[Dhani Jones]], actors [[Terrence Howard]], [[Robert De Niro]], [[Robert Redford]], director [[Guillermo del Toro]], actress [[Maggie Q]] and the Band [[Imagine Dragons]].
