artists statement

I have painted or had some other creative activity all my life. I look at my work and see milestones, describing points of my life as I passed by. I continue to evolve and change my style, subject and technique. I have always had a love of the outdoors and suspect I shall always spend some time there painting. I feel that my work and reflects a Pacific Northwest style. Lately, I have been attracted to capturing moments of interaction with my friends and family. I use a camera to photograph these moments and I've noticed my camera eye is attracted to the same compositions as my painting; not really surprising.

I often sell my paintings and although I do not have a representative currently, some of the paintings shown here are for sale. I can best be reached by email at: tom@thpickett.com .
