Thomas Tholen did animation story boards and layout for 20 years and is getting a second BFA from UVU.
Thomas' Artist Statement:
Some of my first memories are art related. I remember being amazed about how things looked and asking my dad about shadows when I was very young. I would have had to have been about three years old at the time based on where we lived. I entered contests when I was in elementary school and won some of them. I am still fascinated by shadows and how they effect our perceptions of form and the three dimensional space around us. In particular in figure drawing or figure painting, what separates one space from another and creates the image we see as a human being on a 2-D surface? To me it is incredible.
