Tom Prescott Gallery

Born in 1936, Tom is an amateur who paints for pleasure and self-discovery. While essentially self-taught, he has studied at the University of Manitoba School of Art and credits George Swinton and Bob Sakowski for any skills or knowledge that may be evident in his work, but takes responsibility for all the other stuff. He says that workshops with Judi Betts, Jack Reid and Jean Pederson were immensely helpful. His favorite media are watercolour and graphite. His work is represented in private, corporate and government collections in Canada, the US and Europe (mostly of friends and relatives: especially his late Mom who thought he was marvelous). He has won awards in local exhibitions, most notably the Winnipeg Sketch Club's 'Lynn Sissons Award', and the Manitoba Society of Artists 'Best in Show' 2010 Juried Exhibition. Tom is based in Winnipeg where he continues to work, teach and learn in collaboration with a few private students.
