Tommy Beaver
Originally from North Carolina, Tommy relocated to the low country of South Carolina several years ago. Tommy gets many of his inspirations from the marshes and barrier islands along the coast of South Carolina. Following a career in furniture design and sales, Tommy started painting about fifteen years ago. Working in a loose impressionist style with broad brush strokes and rich colors and applying a lot of texture. He tries to capture the emotions, energy and mood of the scene, paying special attention to lighting and shadows. Tommy is partial to twilight as the evening lights, stars and moon come to life. Tommy is an award-winning artist who also teaches art workshops in Georgetown and McClellanville, SC. His paintings hang in private and corporate collections across the US. Tommy Beaver lives and paints in the quaint town of McClellanville, SC, where his studio is located. This area is his home and provides an abundance of natural beauty and solitude for inspiration
