Tom Perkinson (1940– )

Tom Perkinson is one of the young artists who came to New Mexico and fell in love with what he saw and has now lived here for 45 years.  He moved to New Mexico to pursue his Master's Degree in Fine Arts at the University of New Mexico, and, while doing so, painted the landscape, which started his fascination with southwestern imagery. He found that the drama of light and shadow, and the mystery that characterizes the geography of New Mexico, held great appeal to him. He recognized that he had found an infinite source of inspiration in the panorama of the southwest landscape. His paintings reflect his skill and mastery of this challenging medium, watercolor.  Those of us who are not artists owe a great debt to those who are preserving the beauty of New Mexico for us and for the future as it is surely to change over time.
