The white sands and the beauty of the Gulf brought Tommy and his wife, Judy, to Perdido Key in 2002.  Having just retired, his love of art was renewed.

Tommy's style of artwork has a realistic flare with a broad use of colors and covers a wide range of subject matter, from tropical to still life.  With no formal schooling in art, his work flows more from inspiration than training, which he believes helps his creativity.

Doing strictly original work keeps him busy and always looking for that new picture idea.

He gives art lessons to both young and old and believes, although a learning experience, they should be enjoyed and makes his classes fun.  His art work can be seen at numerous galleries in the Gulf Coast area and is enjoyed in homes throughout the United States.

Doing his own framing, he now offers this service to others.

Living so near the Gulf of Mexico (or Paradise as the locals say) is living the good life!
