ARTIST INSIGHT

“When there’s a lot of change and upheaval in the world, my artwork brings an opportunity to plant seeds of hope.”
- Tom Gibbs

“Change is both daunting and profoundly beautiful. Each moment of renewal demands a departure from the past, and my collection delves into this complex interplay of hope and transformation. I strive for my paintings to be more than emotive; they should inspire hope. Through depictions of individuals, young and old, transitioning through landscapes of renewal, my work invites viewers to embrace the luminous possibilities of ‘The Light of Day’.”
- Tom Gibbs
