Hi, I’m Tom.

I’ve been attracted to the arts my whole life. Growing up in a rural town in Northern New York near Lake Ontario, and the 1000 Islands Region, the beauty of outdoor spaces was a fundamental source of inspiration. I was also interested in history, psychology, and the power of the human imagination. These interests fueled my creative development, and my exploration of abstract painting.

Along with painting, music has been a centerpiece in my creative life. I’ve been in a working drummer in many local bands, of many different genres, and have developed a reputation for my skills on the drums. My passion for music has been an enormous influence on my approach to the visual arts, and vice versa. Especially in my abstract paintings, there is a strong connection to rhythm, harmony, flow, and interwoven patterns. These elements have all been brought together in my Prismatic Textiles series, which includes numerous paintings using similar geometric structures with imbedded symbols, moods, and dreamlike imagery.

When it comes to my Design Work, I follow a more functional and solution-based approach while still applying my unique perspective and creativity. I also have been exploring more digital mediums for artistic expression, such as animation, 3D, and multimedia formats.
