After graduating from the Lyme Academy College of Fine Arts with a BFA in painting, in 2001, my artwork is housed in private collections, from coast to coast. I am classically trained in figurative art from one of the most prestigious figurative schools in the country. I have designed company logos, CD cover art, and have privately taught fine art to all ages. I am a young, talented artist living in Connecticut and am always interested in expanding my resume and horizons, which I look at every artistic opportunity to be.

Hello, I'm Thomas, your friendly neighborhood content writer and general idea man about town. Feel free to contact me with any ideas you may have to throw around or questions you need answered, and please don't interpret that last sentence to include questions only about myself or my work. If you need to know why some dogs are born with two heads, please, ask me. I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out. Well, obviously a genetic defect... that doesn't really tell us much... Ewww.... Russian experiments.... Two headed babies? Ok now we're off track. I will continue my foray into the mysteries of two-headed dogs on my own time. Please ask if you are interested in that or any other question that I can help you with, and thanks for stopping by.
