Inspired by the great masters in Christian art down the centuries
such as Michelangelo and Caravaggio to Carl Bloch and Bouguereau,
Tommy’s unique and vibrant style in his depictions of Jesus, The
Blessed Virgin Mary, and the Saints brings to life, in a dynamic way
for new generations, the beauty and richness of the Catholic faith
and Traditions, which unquestionably inspired some of the greatest
masterpieces in the history of art.
"An artist has a special relationship to
beauty. In a very true sense it can be said that beauty is the
vocation bestowed on him by the Creator in the gift of 'artistic
talent'."
- John
Paul II (Letter to Artists 1999)

Taking John Paul II's 1999 Letter to Artists
as a guide and charter to reveal, in colour and sound, the mysteries of
the Kingdom, Tommy seeks in all his art, to lead the viewer to a deeper
appreciation for and personal encounter with Christ’s most Merciful Heart,
expressed in His great love and compassion for all mankind.
