tom foty
“I love to try to capture in all it’s beauty on canvas in 2 dimension what God has already created in 3 dimension.”
Tom’s work consists of fine artworks in figures, portraits, and landscapes,
For him, making art isn’t just about producing nice pictures; it’s a personal experience. Each brushstroke helps him express how he sees the world.
He believes art can change both the artist and the viewer, making it easier to appreciate and understand the beautiful world around us.
Tom’s abilities as an artist have been evident from early on in his life. He began selling his work at the age of fourteen and continued on to pursue his dream of art as a fulfilling and rewarding career. Tom’s paintings hang in beautiful homes from coast to coast both big and small.
Tom attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and returned to Minneapolis, where he has successfully established himself as a prolific Illustrator and painter. His passion for color, lighting, and composition is apparent in his work.
He currently resides in beautiful Minnetonka, Minnesota, with his wife Wendy.
