Timpener embodies 鈥淭he Personal Is Political,鈥 blending personal experiences with community research.

Their international residencies and festival participations include Month of Performance Art - Berlin (2013), Nuit Blanche - Calgary (2014), Nuit Blanche - Toronto (2015), and multiple collaborations with La Pocha Nostra. Timpener's work has been featured at The Art Gallery of Ontario and Espacio Centro Gallery, among others.
