As a surfer with a geography degree, Tom longed to give free rein to his creative instinct. He started by using graffiti pens to draw bright and colourful custom artwork on guitars, but the infinite variety of subjects, and the endless possibilities of other mediums was always beckoning him.

Subsequently daring to pick up a brush, his encounter with more traditional mediums, like oil and acrylic, opened a world of imaginative inspiration. He hasn’t looked back since. For the last ten years, Tom has flourished as a professional artist.

Whilst he loves painting a wide variety of subjects, especially if the fall of light is exciting, Tom frequently returns to where is first two passions: painting wildlife, in particular birds.
