Tom Cannady

A Louisville native, Tom was the 1st born grandson of both parents' families. He developed strong relationships with all of his grandparents and loved their stories of family. Both Grandmothers introduced him to their respective family "picture boxes" and it is likely where his love for history and vintage photographs began. Tom has also always had a passion for automobiles and it spills over into his work. Tom think the vehicles in his paintings readily identify the era depicted. Earlier works focused solely on the vehicle but now they are additional characters within the composition.

Tom admires the work of Edward Hopper for many years particularly his depiction of color, light and warm, nostalgic feelings from the viewer of his work but he also wants to include an element of surprise that checks that nostalgia with a dose of maybe everything wasn't so rosy. Many times that is simply accomplished with a provocative title for a piece.
