Artist’s Bio:
Thomas Carruthers (he/him) grew up in a household where the virtues of the visual and performing arts were integrated into every aspect of family life, so much so that creativity became part of the family’s DNA. As a young person, Thomas found himself immersed in art projects with his mother while also learning to develop an ear for music and a lifelong love of Jazz, from his father.
This led Thomas to an early career as a professional musician and band leader and a subsequent pathway producing and promoting live music and film events. During this time, he never lost sight of his love for printmaking and strong visual messaging and continued to channel his passion and sense of connection to color, composition and imagery to create the graphics for his company’s marketing materials. Now eager to focus that passion into a career in the visual arts, Thomas is honing his printmaking skills and working on a collection of collagraphs, monoprints, woodcuts, linocuts and etchings. His studio is located in Bethel CT
