Artist’s Statement
Art
has been my life-long pursuit. I have worked in
several mediums: clay, silver, encaustic and oil
painting. My current works are oil paintings; some
pleine aire landscape, some portrait and studio work
of varying subject matter. I have continued to make
art simply for the pleasure of seeing the creation
and to satiate my own desire to make a beautiful
mark. My style and techniques have an evolution that
continues to grow as I incorporate new mediums. I am
interested in starting from iconic shapes and colors
of the Pacific Northwest and imbuing them with
emotional interpretations of color, texture, and
movement.

Artists Bio
Thomas Howell Pickett, 1951— , was born
in Issaquah, Washington and grew up in the farming
community of Redmond, Washington. Tom is a life-long
artist who has pursued sculpture, silverwork, oil and
encaustic painting and takes great satisfaction from
painting many works “plein aire”. Most of his oils are
landscapes with a Pacific Northwest palette and vision,
although, more recent studio works include portraits and
studies of interactions, and abstractions of form and
color.
