Since retiring in 2009, Thomas was inspired to take up painting after watching his wife’s artistic abilities grow since her retirement in 2000.

Thomas is self taught and works mainly in acrylic, but also dabbles in pastel and watercolour. He likes to vary his colour palette from dichromatic work to layering of bright vibrant colours.

“I am most happy to undertake commission work if you have specific requirements of size, colour or design for your decor. Our largest work to date was a 16 metre x 2 metre mural which we volunteered to paint for the Tinonee Gardens retirement home at Waratah.”
