| BACKGROUND |
| Thomas
M. Easley was born in Oroville, California in 1949 and raised
at Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He has spent
most of his adult life in Europe and Asia. The study and practice
of the principles of philosophy and metaphysics, which began
for Easley as a child, have taken him through a number of
professions, from music and song writing, in his teens, to
freelance writing, teaching, journalism, professional skiing,
carpentry and art. |
| "As
an artist Easley sees himself first and most importantly as
a professional obligated to maintain those standards laid
down years ago by the Greek and European masters. And second,
with the freedom of those standards he searches for inspiration
to create meaningful and when possible, beautiful long lasting
works of art. From miniatures to detailed architectural landscapes
painted in oil, to exquisite watercolor nudes on paper, to
"extreme expressionism" and abstracts rendered with
acrylics, Easley never fails to captivate. Easley is a master
not of one discipline, but of diversity. He is, in my opinion,
our first 21st Century artist." -- Zannah Castaneda,
