There is that place between in all of us, the thin line dividing rules bound civilization and our unfettered, wild nature. This is the borderline - the space between our natural and civilized selves. In my body of work "Borderlines," I explore this division through the metaphor of the sidewalk. Sculptural oil paintings, divided and edged in black steel, heave and push up accentuating the powerful struggle between control and natural flow, rigidity vs. suppleness.

Time Flies

Who has time? Tom explores our connection to time, in a series of oil paintings that are colourful and expressive abstractions of the landscape at a "hurry up" pace. Twists in ideals of landscape and bucolic colour scapes slipping along elongated canvases, tug at the viewer's sense of nostalgia and the pace of change.
