Tom started off his art career creating custom artwork on guitars using graffiti pens.  Making a move towards a brush and more traditional mediums opened up a whole new world to Tom, and he hasn’t looked back since.

 

He loves to paint in acrylics and oils, and more recently has started exploring watercolour.

 

Whilst Tom loves painting a wide variety of subjects, especially if the light is doing something interesting, he is always drawn back to the place where his first two passions met; painting wildlife, in particular birds.

 

"The free flowing and immediate nature of watercolour seems to lend itself so well to capturing the fleeting moments of wildlife; along with their movement, character and colours"

​

Tom's work has become widely collected in the UK and more more recently, internationally.  He has been a highly commended finalist in the World renowned Wildlife Artist of the Year, on several occasions.
