Tom is from Frederick, Maryland. He turned his lifelong love of both photography and painting into a new career after retirement.

He enjoys the outdoors and the wonderful beauty of our world. He's always on the lookout for subjects that fascinate him and gives him new perspectives on how to frame and capture a scene before him. At other times, it’s not until he takes a photograph and studies it later and sees that he can crop it into a completely different but captivating composition.

Many times he sees his photographs as material for paintings that he will work on at some point. He enjoys finding different ways to paint textures, buildings, clouds, water, and people. As in all professions, he believes learning never ends!

“Don’t think about making art. Just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they’re deciding, make even more art.” – Andy Warhol
