Tom Hoar

Tom comes from a long line of professional painters. His architect grandfather designed Gatwick's first terminal whilst moonlighting as a prolific cartoonist for Punch and his father John is a respected professional watercolourist with an international following. Tom took a degree in history of art and has taken life classes at the Royal Academy but otherwise had no formal artistic training. He clearly has a natural ability and manifest technical ability, honed by years of continued application and practise.

During the last decade Tom's professional career has blossomed, his habit of immersing himself in each subject that inspires him has paid dividends and led to a succession of acclaimed solo exhibitions.
He has exhibited at the New English Art Club, the Royal Society of British Portrait Painters, the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Watercolour Society.
