    Thom is a great teacher. I have taken 3 acrylic painting courses with him. He is extremely knowledgeable about art and technique, and has all the qualities of an excellent educator. Wish he was offering a class this summer.

    Thom is a great teacher. Meets you where you are. Understands and communicates color such that you can translate his recommendations easily to your own canvas. Dedicated to student artistic development with enthusiasm and personal commitment.
