About the Artist: Thomas W. Graham
I've been playing with tin since 1994 and making tin can collages since my retirement from the practice of psychiatry 8 years ago. I work mainly with tin which has colors and images printed on it. Birds are a common subject for me because of my love of them and because I can render them to my satisfaction. I sell my work regularly at the Saxapahaw Holiday Show and at the Fearrington Folk Art Show as well at some local galleries. Am I a folk artist? Who knows? I have taken classes and workshops as an older adult but didn't study art in college.
