Thomas Andrew was born in Miami, Florida in
1967 but considers himself a Mountain Brook,
Alabama native. His artistic talent was
recognized at a very early age, and after
graduating from high school, Tom attended
Auburn University where he received his BFA in
1990. In 2004, Tom decided to pursue his love
of painting on a full-time basis. His southern
upbringing has a great influence on his spiritual
subject matter, and the landscape of Alabama
plays a large role in his rustic color palette.
Furthermore, Tom's style is visually unique as he
paints using primarily a palette knife. His
canvases are rich in acrylic paint, and each
piece is finished in a tinted oil stain.
Artist Statement:
"My latest landscape work is a spiritual journey
back to a simpler time and place. While driving
through this country, I noticed that the fabric
of our landscape is peppered with old barns
that seem lost in time. They are peaceful and
reflective of our history. My paintings are meant
to instill this peacefulness and the moments we
seek to make life simple again.
