Tom Haas demonstration oil painting.
Tom Haas,
award-winning artist, does landscapes, pastoral, western, wildlife,
sti11life and figurative. Tom often works
en plein air,
meaning on the site. He has been recognized by The National Park Academy of
the Arts as "being in the top echelon of representational artists working
today" with its Award For Excellence in 2002, 2003, and 2004.
In
2001 MBNA Bank collected
more than 30
paintings from this award-winning artist. Home National Bank bought 2 in
2002.
The U.S. Dept.
of State's regional office in Vienna, Austria, introduced Tom's southwest
landscape paintings to a global audience with its 2004 calendar. One of his
paintings was published on the cover of the Geneva Art in Embassies
catalogue, while the original was on display at The Residence of the U.S.
Ambassador to the United Nations in Switzerland. Later that year, Tom was a
guest at the White House in Washington, D.C. in celebration of the Art in
Embassies program.
Tom studied
oil painting with ac1aimed North American painters such as Duane Bryer, Lew
Chmiel, William Reese, Don Putman, Mark Daily, George Strickland, Dan
Mieduch, Ralph Oberg, and James
Reynolds, at
the Scottsdale Artists School in Scottsdale, where he has become a popular
painting
instructor as
well. Early exposure to paintings by N.C. Wyeth ignited Tom's drive and
confidence to learn about art and express himself visually. Versatile and
prolific, Haas is inspired by time spent outdoors capturing nature's light,
color and form. He also enjoys the process of creating abstract paintings,
which tap into his sense of design and expert use of materials.
Tom's Studio
is located at:
4002 East Kimberly Way, Phx.
(40th St., 5
blocks North of Union Hills Dr.)
