Vibrant colors and muted shades; multitudes of textures so visible you want to run your fingers over them; standing
at several distances to ensure you don’t miss any detail, and knowing that when you take in this vision-in-oil as a
whole, you will be reminded of a wonderful place you saw ‘somewhere’.
Tom Talbot
and his wife Ginger chose Aiken for its beauty and charm as their home in 1999. Although
Tom is still painting and traveling to galleries for shows, he claims that he has retired.
Both Tom and Ginger were born and raised in Nebraska and have made their home in the American Southwest, including
Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Prescott, Arizona. The Talbots have an adventurous
side that has lent itself to extensive travel over the years throughout the United States and in Europe, North
Africa, the Orient, Canada, and Mexico.
Tom
began studying art in 1954 at the University of Nebraska
in Lincoln. He is a graduate of the American
Academy of Art in Chicago. He realized, after working as a commercial artist and art director, that his love of painting was pure
and free flowing, not a commodity to be produced ‘on demand’. He
later studied at the Art Students League of NYC in Madison, Connecticut
with Robert Brackman, and at the Bellas Artes, San Miguel de Allende in Mexico.
Tom has been
affiliated with galleries internationally and across the United States. His work is also displayed in private and institutional collections throughout the
United States and in England,
Germany, Holland, Switzerland,
Italy, Nigeria,
Japan, Mexico
and Canada.
Thank
you Tom!
