Born in Fort Worth, Texas, Tom's interest in western art started at an early age. Spending summers and holidays working on the family ranch, he developed a love for horses, cattle and the western culture.

After many years as an art director, he has moved back to the place where he gets most of his inspiration: the Bosque county hill country near Clifton, Texas. This is reflected in his paintings and sculptures.

"I paint colors and objects that I see in everyday surroundings." With oils as the primary medium, Tom enjoys painting from a perspective that embraces the western way of life.

He is a member of the Texas Wild Bunch.

Tom's art can be seen at Paulson Gallery and Frames,122 N. Ave. D, Clifton, Texas.  For information, call the gallery at 254-675-3144.
