My interest in art started very early, as soon as I could
handle a pencil. Encouraged by my parents, both fine
artists, I was exposed to many forms of artistic
expression, both visual and musical, throughout my
formative years. As a child my family and I lived in Rome,
Italy, for two years while my father was a Fellow in
sculpture at the American Academy in Rome. In addition,
I lived and traveled in Mexico and Europe for several
years as an adult, working with charitable organizations.
My artistic development and influences continued during
my education in high school in Connecticut and later
through the School of Fine Arts at Boston University,
Boston, MA; the Lyme Academy of Fine Art, Old Lyme,
CT; and the School of Visual Arts, NY.

Tom Matt. As a resident of New York, Tom finds
inspiration on a daily basis all around him along city

inspiration on a daily basis all around him along city
streets and avenues and through the people he meets.
Taking the paper-of-the-day as his canvas, the artist finds
city scenes that captivate and spark his creativity. With
pastel as his medium of choice, he draws these views
'on-site' on top of the front of New York newspapers. The
merging of city-news and city-views forms a unique
portrait and synthesis of a layered metropolitan
landscape. The series is available as commissioned
artwork, originals, and limited edition prints
