Due to the amount of work that is produced each
month, below is a sampling.
Thomas Andrew Findlay was born in
Miami, Florida in 1967. During early
childhood he moved to Mountain Brook,
Alabama with his mother and two
brothers. In 1990, Andrew earned a
B.F.A. from Auburn University with a
concentration on computer design and
graphics. He then enjoyed a successful
career as Creative Director for an
international textile conglomerate,
winning several design industry awards.
Thomas decided to pursue his love for
painting on a full-time basis in 2004. His
southern upbringing has a great influence
on his subject matter, and the landscape
of Alabama plays a large role in his rustic
color palette. Furthermore, Andrew's
style is visually unique as he paints using
primarily a palette knife. His canvases are
rich in acrylic paint, then finished in a
tinted oil stain.
Thomas Andrew's artwork is collected
throughout the United States and Canada.
He is quickly becoming one of America's
premier himself a colorist, and his
simplistic imagery is his signature. He
says this about his work: "My landscapes
are meant to instill serenity, reflecting the
separation we seek from our busy lives.
In 2006, I drove from Canada to
Alabama. During my trip I noticed that
our country is peppered with old barn
houses. They seemed lost somewhere in
time, reminding me of a simpler time and
place in our history."
Tom's latest series is titled "Horses on the
Horizon." It is a collection of dramatic
scenery and the beauty of one of God's
most majestic creatures. Each painting
reveals a pack of wild horses running
together. Their unity is as simple as the
landscape that provides their backdrop.
This series is created using acrylic paints,
India inks and tinted oil stains. The color
palette is more muted than usual. Tom
says this about this series: "Horses are
amazing creatures. Their power, strength
and beauty have made a timeless subject
matter for artists throughout the
centuries. They are mysterious
creatures, the reason why I paint them
with very little detail."
