An artist whose life has been guided by many creative pursuits, Tom Swimm began painting at a very young age and developed his painting methods by experimenting with various techniques and by studying the great works of Van Gogh, Hopper, Gaugin, Cezanne and Monet.
To quote the artist: "Light is the most important aspect of my work, offering the ultimate challenge and reward. To capture its elusive qualities on canvas offers great personal satisfaction, and it's what I thrive on artistically."
To seek inspiration Tom travels extensively, working from photos and sketches, and his work is included in many important private and corporate collections.
He is also a published playwright, and screenwriter. His stageplays have been produced in Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas and Seattle.
