Tom discovered his artistic talents whilst in a center for drug addiction. His art reflects challenges with depression and having severe reading and writing difficulties, he finds that "Art slows down the jumble of chaos flying around my head and gives me a chance to get things down on paper. I can then take my time and meditate on them." "Painting and drawing have been my voice." Working on a painting or a cane, this becomes Tom's whole universe and everything else just fades away. Tom encourages any and all feedback from people in regards to what thoughts and feelings his work might stir in them. Works can odered for prints and/or purchased ranging from $50-500, depending on the size. How to view the HG Trader Artisan Galleries: Click once on any gallery picture to expand the picture.
