Thomas, a native Arkansan, published author, and award-winning artist has run his own Art Gallery, Architecture + Design Studios, and even worked as a production assistant for the ESPN X-games.

His process builds upon his past education and vocations working as a licensed architect, designer, documentarian, professional photographer, graphic artist.

Director Statement

I believe a “successful” work is one that expresses in an introspective way, something you see every day or something you’ve never noticed before and does so in a way that resonates emotionally with something deep inside us.
