Thomas Bell
B.1972 Glens Falls, NY

 

Currently based in Tampa Florida, Thomas has been an active visual artist for the past 25 years creating a large body of work spanning multiple mediums including acrylic painting, encaustic, ceramic, found object assemblage and mixed media works.

“As a self trained visual artist, process and discovery are very important aspects of realizing works for me. I began my venture into the visual arts world in 1999 and quickly utilized the act of improvisation within the creation of my works.  With my formal education in jazz improvisation and ethnomusicology, this only seemed natural to the creative process.”

 

Thomas has presented work in solo and group exhibitions in NYC, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, Detroit, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Tampa and St Petersburg, FL.  His works are in private collections across the United States, Europe and South America.
