STEVE
THOMS
Born 1960, Blackburn, Lancashire
Steve Thoms has always had the drive and practical ambition of
being a successful artist. Already an accomplished artist and
cartoonist, he started painting seriously in 1981 and became a
full time artist in 1992.
Steve paints principally in oils, and has lectured and demonstrated
oil and acrylic painting techniques to art societies throughout
the North of England. His emotive style of paintings influenced
by Edward Hopper and other American impressionists who mastered
the technique of capturing bright sunlight and deep shadow to
provide an instant vitality to their work.
An artist of natural ability, Steve has developed his own unique
way of using relatively simple ideas and scenes to provide stunning
oil paintings that encapsulate the true ambience of different
countries in a dramatic way.
He has exhibited throughout the UK and the U.S.A, where he has
had many commissions and limited edition prints published.
The Colomb Art Gallery currently
has a number of original oil paintings by Steve
Thoms
