Tom's work reflect is refreshing in that it is 'real' just like he is. It is also refreshing to read about someone so dedicated to his art in a mature and thoughtful way. Great interview!

It is even more impressive seeing it in person. I am always struck by its honesty and the intimacy of the figurative works. If you ever have the opportunity, go to one of his shows. Or go find one of his public works. I think it is interesting that Tom works in so many different mediums. I often hear from galleries to stick to one medium. That it will make a more cohesive body of work. But Tom's work is recognizable as Tom's in any medium. He has such a strong voice and intent I think the medium is just that. The message is what is most important. It is inspiring as well to see that creating fine art can be a full-time endeavor. So often that is not the story these days. Simply put, Tom is a great talent.
