About Tom Hughes
Tom came to oil painting from a career in illustration. He started painting in 2012 and for the first 5 years, worked exclusively from life, painting small plein air studies on location. He then began experimenting with what he had learned from painting outside, applying it to larger scales and different subject matter in the studio. He specialises in street scenes, landscapes and coastal scenes.
Tom’s work has been selected for many National art exhibitions, including four selections for The Lynne Painter Stainers Prize, three showings at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and one showing at the BP Portrait Prize. He has also had two solo shows at Panter & Hall in London’s West End.
Tom’s paintings have won multiple awards, including prizes from The Discerning Eye, ROI, National Open Art Competition, The Patchings Purchase Prize and the coveted Critics Prize from the New English Art Club.
He lives in Bristol with his partner and two children.
