Artist’s Bio
Thomas has been taking photos as long as he can remember. The first was of the tree-shaded, moss-covered banks of a spring, deep in the mountains—where his grandmother drew her water. He was less than 18 months old. He made a mental snap-shot of that green, peaceful location that he carries with him to this day. That mossy, green place of solitude brought a special feeling of peacefulness to his spirit—a feeling he often seeks to repeat in seeking new images. It wasn’t for another nineteen years that Thomas realized he could permanently capture and share those scenes of beauty he had mentally been capturing in his mind—through the medium of a camera. Completely self-taught in photography, his life’s passion to capture and share the beauty of the world was birthed with that first camera. Today you will see a majority of green and blue colors in his work. His love of nature and solitude are captured in those images. He seeks to transport the viewer to that peaceful serenity he felt while making the image. He hopes his work inspires others to notice the beauty that surrounds them, to take the time to be still and peaceful, to quiet the soul for just a bit.

Artist’s Statement Growing
up in the isolated mountains of Quite
often you will see I concentrate heavily on shades of green and blue.
This is not by accident. These
are the colors of peace and solitude (seldom will one sense coldness in the
shades of blue I capture). The
solitude of a peaceful place is where I seek to transport the viewer.
The greens convey life, self-confidence, harmony and balance; the blues
convey solitude, truth, healing, and serenity. Fortunate
to have a skill that has allowed me to see the world, I returned home in 1994.
I returned to my beautiful mountains that first inspired my vision and
the way I view the world. I
seek out those special places of color to feel those emotions, to soak it
in—then communicate those same feelings to the viewers of my work. --
