TO M B OAT R I G H T A B S T R AC T I M P R E S S I O N I S M
Using his background in technology, Tom creates artisan paints for each series. He adds metals and luminescence to raw oils and resins to capture and refract light creating vivid colors and luxurious metals. Tom uses a palette knife, trowel, or brush to apply thick paint and sprays and pours fluid paint. His technique is emergent.
I create oil paints with metals to produce an alchemical phenomenon. TOM BOATRIGHT The intention of the painting is written beneath the base colors. The composition is sketched and painted into the existing layers. As Tom paints, he embraces the energy that moves in him, a raw and refined collaboration. The paintings are aesthetically beautiful, but the power is in the energetic resonance; they elevate a space.
Luxury is when it seems flawless when you reach the right balance between all elements. JEAN LOUIS-DENOIT
VISIONARY
art
Tom began painting through a series of visionary experiences in which he received a flood of energy - the essence of love. In a flow state of fluid consciousness, he paints to convey this energy, the beauty of creation.
Tom’s paintings are beautiful, but the power is in the energy they emote. CHICAGO RITZ-CARLTON BUYER
Tom’s emergent method and diverse techniques have received national recognition. His paintings are sought after by private collectors and grace hundreds of homes and corporate spaces. Each painting has a certificate of authentication, a statement of the energy and intention, and investment value.
We are so grateful to have discovered Tom’s work. We commissioned two large paintings. They feel very personal to us and bring us much joy. ATUL & BIRAGE TANDON, SEATTLE, WA Tom paints as many commissions as straight sales and has a very high success rate creative methodology, painting multiple paintings for each commission, including one of his own inspiration. Commissions are a collaborative process which allow clients to create custom paintings. Tom paints en plein air outside his studio at the ponds of his beautiful nature preserve, where he lives with his wife, Anna, and their family. Immersed in nature, he paints the energy of light and love. His clients are invited to visit his studio and gallery in the Pacific Northwest or his new gallery in La Quinta.

realm
Tom envisions the composition for each painting over time from messages received from the Universe. He creates paints for each series with vivid colors and luminous metals to hold the energy. He uses a palette knife or traditional brush to pull thick paint and a cloth or a sponge to apply fluid paint. His technique is very innovative and emergent. The intention of the painting is written beneath the base colors. The composition is sketched and painted into the existing layers. As Tom paints, he embraces the energy that moves in him, a raw and refined collaboration. The paintings are aesthetically beautiful, but the power is in the energetic resonance. They are alchemical.

YOUR
oasis
Your space is personal. Your home should elevate your mood. Whether you desire a sense of peace and calm or you love to entertain, your home should align with the very fiber of your being. Strategic color selection is very important. The colors you choose—on the wall, art and also for furniture and accessories—will depend on what mood you are creating. Add touches that have meaning to your space. Create an oasis. Find textures you love (ultrasoft blankets and throws). Beautiful decorative pillows and exquisite scents can elevate your mood. Incorporate nature whenever possible, even within the confines of your home. Use simple transitions from indoors to outdoors. Nature elevates your space. Use the diffuse morning light or the sunset in your design.

CREATING ENERGY Color is not a property of objects, contrary to their appearance, but rather how our eyes perceive light. What we see are wavelengths of light. Anna uses the psychology and physiology of color and form to create exquisite spaces using aesthetic and energetic resonance. Visible light waves are the only electromagnetic waves we can see. We see these waves as the colors of the rainbow. Each color has a different wavelength and energy. When all the waves are seen together, they create white light. Play with light and energy. Explore color.
RAINBOWS are the
bridge
between heaven and earth.
Rainbows are symbolic of hope, a covenant with the heavens. They remind us of the mystery and magic of the Universe. Each color has a unique energy frequency that affects us.

prose
We are the wayward stars lost in the darkness of the night. Show us the way by the brightness of your love, by the song of your prayers, by the faint whisper of your honeyed breath. Spice and myrrh, burial shroud reborn. I return. I come in the morning with the light of the newest dawn. Together we will paint the world beautiful with the colors of the heavens. I am the rainbow song of creation. I am the golden morn. Awake, rise in your power. Breathe. Paint. Paint me into being. I circulate in the coming of the sun to its zenith. I bask in glory. Ascending. Bright is my courage; fierce is my faith. Vibrant is my color. In my truth, I burn away that which impedes. I am the phoenix risen. I paint the golden light of the sun.

Let yourself be silently by the stronger pull of what you really love. RUMI
Drop the colors down and let them run across the canvas. Exalted creation. I illuminate the heavens as liquid light. Bask in their crystalline glow. Be still. Remember. In the darkness, the stars illuminate. The heavenly choir sings. Rejoice the golden dawn.
Tom Boatright received this message to create with light at age 44.

This is about you - your
legacy
Take the time to enjoy the finer things in life. Maybe they aren’t the luxuries. Maybe they are the necessities. Maybe that is what matters the most in the end. Live intentionally and create the life you desire. Much of what they attribute to longevity and elevated mood are non-tangibles; it is not simply diet and exercise. What matters is a sense of purpose, community and awe. It is about legacy.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others. PERICLES
