Tom Conner
Raised in North Carolina, Tom's fine-arts education truly began after he moved to Arizona more than thirty years ago — in the deserts and forests of the Southwest. A love of great open spaces, hiking, and camping taught him to observe, and drew his painting toward the timeless, mythical places of the Southwest landscape.
Tom has taken part in Art in the Pines in all but one year. He returns for the unique scenery and historic downtown — “there's no mistaking it for anywhere else in the world.”
