Tom Rios
My name is Tom Rios. I have been making art on and off for about 35 years. I started in the early 70s in San Francisco. Attended the Academy of Art College for several years, which taught me the basics in art and gave me the opportunity to explore different styles and techniques. Since that time I have experimented in many types of arts from woodcarving to painting to paper-cuts and recently into making art cards.
I like the idea of the art card because of the size limitations. The challenge of creating small works of art within the boundaries of the cards size. How much information can you put in and still make it work? I think that’s the fun of creating these little gems. View more of my artists card work at my homepage on myspace!
Tom became an ARTCARDIST on June 15, 2009
