About The Artwork
I grew up on an island where I was rarely more than a few minutes from the beach. When I was able to finagle a ride there, I would. When I had a retail job and a car to get around, I would ditch work early on nice days to bask in the sun and feel the waves. The beach was a place of refuge for me, and I have returned there in this Beach series. Although I live close to Puget Sound, I do miss being near the ocean. As we continue to deal with the pandemic, the beach has become my inner happy place. I think this was prompted by friends making (temporary) escapes to Hawaii. I remembered that orange-pink light I would see through closed lids, the heat evaporating the sea water from my body leaving traces of salt on my skin. This image is painted onto a beautifully smooth, cradled Claybord surface. The cradle removes the need for any framing. The painting will arrive ready-to-hang.

United States
I am a painter and filmmaker based in Seattle. My intuitively created paintings juxtapose serious and absurd narratives with overlays of characters, locations and vibrant color. Place, time and repetition are manipulated to present a filmic journey in a single frame. My art journey has taken me from painting to performance to screenwriting and filmmaking and back again. The different disciplines have informed one another, presenting opportunities to grow and change my approach. The pandemic came along as I was already shifting to working in the painting studio as my primary practice. The strange world we are all navigating - claustrophic, exposed, vulnerable - the emotions and situations forced me to re-examine who we are to one another, and how we can live together in a healthy, compassionate, inclusive way. The Cabin Fever Dreams and Beach series images most directly deal with these ideas. Tom has a full-time painting practice and is actively seeking exhibition opportunities, art sales and commissioned work.
