Thomas Peterson

Hi to all who visit my site, I was born in the United States in Chicago, Illinois. I am a self taught artist, although I am not a prolific painter by nature. I paint only those things or places that inspire me to paint. I feel that if the subject matter does'nt inspire me, how can it possible have an affect on you the viewer of the art work. I work in several different mediums besides oils. I also love to carve in wood and make sculptures out of different metals. I have in recent years spent time learning how to make cast and molds to make life sculptures like faces and hands etc. I must confess that "by myself I can do nothing, it is only from the greater power that flows through me that allows me to create any work of art". Please take your time and enjoy looking at my art work and the work of hundreds of other on this Web site.
