"Bronze sculptures lasting beyond our years" Bio Born in Austin Texas, he has migrated all around this great state, then North to the Red River bottoms near the historic town of Byers. His career as an artist started early, when, as a typical kid brother, he copied his older sibling's efforts at sketching and quickly picked up a pencil. These early attempts at drawing grew into a career starting in 1989 as a professional design draftsman. Inspired by people and the struggles of everyday life, he now pursues an accurate representation of his subject matter through realistic depictions of a working-western-outdoor lifestyle. Admiring people who put on gloves and work hard to make a living, he strives to depict this beauty. Tom knows all credit goes to his loving-supportive wife, family and foremost to God.
