These paintings were executed in gouache over the last ten years. Many of them were featured in the Bloomington Sketchbook published by the Chamber of Commerce in 2004. Tom Rhea's work has appeared on the cover of the Chamber's directory three times, including the current year. He has published illustrations in numerous national publications, and he continues to do commissioned portraits and illustrations for local individuals and businesses.


Tom Rhea was trained as a painter at Indiana University, where he graduated with a BFA. He spent the next twenty years in the rigorous and demanding field of medallic arts. For a wide variety of clients, he sculpted extremely detailed scenes on a small scale in bas-relief, for mass production in pewter and solid brass. Rhea continued to pursue freelance art as well, rendering detailed paintings of city and campus landmarks for local businesses and portraits for individual clients. For several years he provided celebrity portraits for national publications such as the Wall Street Journal, LA Weekly and XXL magazine.


Rhea credits his background in production artwork and the demands of specificity in a sculptural format with his current robust and detailed realistic painting style.
