Featured Artist

Tom was compelled to paint in 2008, having had a visionary and transformative experience. He emerged from that incident able to feel the emotion and energy of the world. His paintings convey that energy. The canvas is a platform for the energy to surface.

 

Tom, his wife, Anna, and their five children have been inspired to live a more creative, authentic life. They live on an 85-acre nature preserve that offers art and nature retreats in Washington State.

Tom creates artisan paints from raw oils, resins, pigments, and powders. He adds metals and luminescence to raw oils and resins to produce an alchemical phenomenon. Tom creates vivid colors, organic textures, luxurious metals, and light refraction.The viscosity of the paint affects the tools Tom uses. The paint is scraped, rolled, sprayed, pulled, and dropped on the canvas.

 

Tom’s technique is very experimental and fluid. His paintings are intended to be experiential. They are an invitation to the imagination – to go beneath the surface..

 

Tom initially painted a traditional realism but rapidly evolved to a more fluid technique. Experimenting with the viscosity of the paint allowed for a collaborative process. It was raw and refined. The process is intentional and emergent. It was symbolic of life; it has an exquisite beauty because it is free.

 

Tom's innovative method and diverse technique have received international recognition. His paintings are sought after by private collectors around the world and grace hundreds of homes and commercial spaces.
