Hello! My name is Thomas. I'm a mixed media artist based in London, UK.I use paint, paper and intuitive mark making to create my collages and paintings, with an emphasis on play, experimentation and discovering new ways of doing things. I find particular inspiration from stars, planets and the wider universe, and this is reflected throughout my work.I share regular sketchbook experiments and process videos on Instagram so, if you're interested in my process, I'd love to see you there!
Coming soon!I'm currently working on a free downloadable toolkit that'll include my various tools and supplies, plus a handful of my favourite painting and collage techniques. Watch this space!A gentle reminder - you don't need a huge toolkit to begin creating! I started with a couple of paint brushes and some tiny pots of paint from a paint-by-numbers kit. The collection you see me using has slowly grown over time, often in response to a specific need or wish to save time/effort. All that to say, there's no need to rush; enjoy the process and invest when you feel it'll be truly worth it.
