Tom was born in the City of London in 1960. After studying, he lived and worked in West Dorset. During this time he used a beach hut as a studio, painting the light and changing atmosphere of Lyme Bay.
Discovering the Cornish Coast on a walking holiday in 1982 he realised a yearning to live and work close to a rugged and romantic coastline. Eventually, in 1992 he moved to West Penwith and fulfilled this dream - to sit on the edge of a vast ocean and paint its moods and splendour.
Tom also works in the Scottish Highlands, Nantucket Island USA and Sicilly. Although an accomplished landscape painter he is drawn towards the simple minimalism of the subject of the sea and sky, making his point of interest the horizon, where these two elements are compressed.
Tom Exhibits widely in the West Country, London and the USA.
