Meet the Miniaturist Tim Naus!

Meet the Miniaturist Tim Naus, a Chicago-based artist who is truly pushing the boundaries of what miniatures can be. What first caught my attention was Tim’s use of 3D technology and AI in his builds… but what really stayed with me is the deeply personal, psychological narrative behind every room he creates. In this conversation, we talk about craftsmanship, identity, and transformation… and how miniature spaces can become a powerful form of storytelling—and even self-exploration. Tim shares how his background in interior design, psychotherapy, and model-making all come together to create something that feels entirely new in the world of miniatures. If you’ve ever wondered where this hobby—and this art form—might be headed next, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. 👉 Watch the full episode and let me know your thoughts in the comments—especially if you come from a more traditional miniatures background. I’m really curious… how do you see technology shaping the future of this craft? A big thank you to Tim for joining me—and thank you for being here and watching. 👍 Be sure to like and subscribe 📩 And sign up for my newsletter so you never miss an update on my auctions, events, and podcasts: https://www.dthomasfineminiatures.com...
