In this new series, I’m diving deep into my colorful childhood and teenage experience, drawing inspiration from a kaleidoscope of influences that span decades. Imagine the sensory overload of my childhood full of a disco singles collection, the rebellious thrill of sneaking peeks at David Bowie and Sylvester's tantalizing late-night TV performances as a teen, seeing gay men holding hands in public on a vacation to California in the mid-70s and more recently, scrolling through the vivid, sordid and often heart-breaking stories captured in the Gay New York of the 1970s and ‘80s Facebook Group. Please reach out with any questions you have about the work, pricing or commissions. The gallery is open Thursday to Sundays and is in the lower-level Catacombs of the beautiful Epiphany Center for the Arts. If you are in Chicago or passing through, I’d love to welcome you to visit me in the studio. Get in touch! x Tom
