​

In his Artist's Statement Tom stated: "My painting has been described as 'enhanced representation.' I describe it as intuitive, high contrast and colorful, with only necessary details.  I have an aversion to copied photographs – they result in superficial paintings. Above all, I love to paint. It’s a never ending adventure."

 

Tom's work is included in private and corporate collections worldwide.
