My name is Tom. I am an economic refugee that owns a little house here in Tallahassee, Florida. In my forced retirement (I was a machinest/Tool machine operator for 25 years) I take care of my legally blind wife, Lisa, and my two teenage children, David and Luara. To support my clan, I receive money from an annulity (my late mother was a good investor) and with my wife's governmental support. Please do not think we are rich, nor even middle class. So to ellivate myself and my family out of poverty, I present to you my artwork. Through out my life, people claimed that I was talented. Now I ask the same public whom appreciated my art in the past, please buy my artistic services. Let me draw and paint for you!!!
