About Tom Nielsen Tom Nielsen brings to each canvas over four decades of study and painting experience. Born in 1948, he began his painting career in his home state of Iowa. His grandmother – a talented artist herself – provided an early start to his training. Tom began oil painting at the age of ten and by the time he entered the Navy in the mid 1960’s, his career as an artist was already established. For a number of years he divided his time between graphic design and fine art in the Washington, D.C. area. He now maintains his studio in Carrollton, Georgia along with his artist wife, Jan. Tom’s paintings can be found in private and public collections worldwide including the U.S. House of Representatives, South Carolina State Museum, Morris Museum of Art, and the Reagan Library. In addition to his portraits and paintings, he has designed a commemorative silver dollar for the U.S. Mint and a bronze medallion for the U.S. Congress. In 2004, his landscapes of the Marshes of Glynn were given by Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue to each of the Leaders of the G8 Sea Island Summit. Recently, his work was selected for inclusion in the 2007 Oil Painters of America National Juried Exhibition. Today, he continues painting portraits, genre, and landscapes both near his studio and far afield. |
