Hi, everyone. I want to tell you about my art. I’ve wanted to be an artist my whole life, but everyone told me I shouldn’t. I listened to them. I was miserable. I did what everyone else told me to do. Finally, after a life-threatening experience I decided I owed it to myself to do what I wanted. I quit my job, got a swing-shift job making hotel reservations, and got my art degree. That was about ten years ago. Since then I’ve had nothing but fun and fulfillment. I want to explain my techniques and talk about my art. You’ll be hearing from me regularly.

Tom Slack is a remarkable man – an artist – who brings everyday life into pure perspective. His version of ‘light’ therapy and his depiction of the simple life give an individual a renewed sense of existence in this crazy world.
When the observer’s mind travels into Tom’s artwork – common people, common places, and common things become poignant uncommon treasures. Through his art, he creates a ‘glow’ within the viewer’s soul.
I really enjoyed looking through your website! I feel very honored to own one of your paintings and have it hanging in my living room! I’ve bookmarked you so I’ll come back often. =)
Thank you, Tom. I enjoyed seening your site and the story about London. I am really impressed with your Indiana State Capital with the autos in front and your dissertation on the painting, THANKS again. Jim
