Thomas’ latest series of works explores the expression of human love and its relationships through nature. His use of abstract concepts and realistic techniques achieves a unique quality of work.

The mandate of Brant Studio Tour is to champion original visual art in Brant.
Our vision is to share with the public the 'behind-the-scene' creative process. By visiting the artists' working studio spaces, one may appreciate the process starting from the conception of abstract ideas, meeting technical challenges, then creating works as vehicles of their expressions.
