Number 78 Painting

Tom McCoy is an American multidisciplinary artist. He understands this world to be a convergence of many dimensions across many mediums - and thus he works unconfined in broad mediums such as painting, sculpture, drawing, and video media. --- His training is equally multidimensional. At the age of 12, he began experimenting with oils on canvas. He received his formal degree in Psychology in Southern California, to understand the human mind and our perception of the world. He also received guidance from artists in such far reaching fields as Hollywood sound stages, personal studios in derelict buildings of remote desert hills, travelling gypsy artists, and university faculty. --- Growing up in Los Angeles afforded Tom an encompassing understanding of the facets of creativity and the human mind. Later, his travels across the United States, Europe, and Asia gave him a broader sense of the world – how the history, cultures, and the human condition interconnect across the globe. --- Tom believes that true creativity exists without boundaries in the mind, and therefore he embraces the conceptual as well as the literal/structured. What is in the heart and mind will find its way out on to the canvas of the ether.
