Tom Burton
Tom Burton might be most interested in making connections with fellow artists at the studio but that doesn’t stop him from making an acrylic painting or two in-between his socializing. When he isn’t putting brush to canvas creating abstract portraits, Tom likes to take hammer and nail to wood cutouts, creating unique three dimensional mixed media works of art. These nailed, wooden masterpieces are adorned with hand painted designs and thread that is intertwined along the nails. The meticulously placed nails anchor the thread, creating a map like creation that is uniquely Tom.
