about the artist

Residing in Memphis, Tennessee with his silver Catahoula/Pitbull mix Sadie, Thomas is a visual artist, musician, and avid gardener with a passion for creating captivating cityscape works on canvas, colorful portrait paintings, and constantly working in multiple sized sketchbooks when he's not recording drums with his contemporary jazz outfit etta havoc. His paintings feature imagined and existing urban spaces existing in multiple dimensions with skewed perspectives, providing viewers with lost blueprints overlapping to create new worlds to explore.

Thomas has been creating art since childhood and pursued a BFA with a concentration in drawing with an art history minor at Memphis College of Art, graduating in 2010.
