As I have known Tom Relth for over 50 years, I feel qualified to say he is, and always has been, a dedicated artist and an asset to his craft. Tom's ability to depict small objects on a very large canvas has always intrigued me. It will be your pleasure to get to know him. Erma Baude.

Entering Tom’s studio it’s easy to get lost in the wonder of deep woods paintings and drawings, whether in black and white or bright colors. Or meditating on the chair in the window or feeling the awe of Jacob’s Ladder. I’ve bought two pieces of his artwork and totally enjoy them.
