Tom Tomasek

medium: pastels

Tom Tomasek is a landscape artist who works in pastel. “I feel my mission as a landscape artist is to document both types of this slow impermanence and to provide a chance to return and feel these places again through my paintings,” he says. 

Tom’s work has been exhibited throughout Michigan and has received awards at places such as the Muskegon Museum of Art, the Ann Arbor Art Center, and others. He was honored to be one of four Michigan artists chosen to represent Michigan in Japan as part of the artist exchange program “Art from the Lakes” with Shiga Prefecture. He also has taught workshops in pastel techniques at a variety of locations such as Interlochen Center for the Arts, the Golden Apple in Maine, Holland Area Arts Council, and more.
