R. Thomas Tate
Born in Richmond, Virginia, Tom and his family have resided for many years in the still rural part of Southern Wake County near the Town of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina. He is known regionally to private and corporate collectors for his original works and limited issue litho prints.
Drawing upon his experiences, surroundings and travels, he feels compelled to document the fragile remnants of many vanishing landscapes.
Equally comfortable with acrylics, watercolors and pen and ink, Tom uses whatever medium he feels will best express the subjects he wishes to represent. From soft subtle watercolors to vibrant eye catching acrylics to the expressive lines of pen and ink, Tom is always inspired by his passion for the subject and the setting.
