Growing up in rural Southern Colorado has taught me how to appreciate nature and respect the environment. I love being a landscape painter because of the unlimited variety of subject matter. I’ve always been drawn to the outdoors, it helps to keep me grounded and when you paint on site, you can feel the temperature, smell the air and see how the light truly affects color. Being a plein-aire painter has taught me to look beyond the obvious and truly see life as art.

Tom Lockhart has been featured in Southwest Art, Art of the West and Watercolor Magazines. His work is included in many corporate and private collections here and abroad. Galleries throughout the Southwest and Rocky Mountain Region as well as Maine, represent him. Tom maintains his own gallery and studio, La Casa De Luz, in his hometown of Monte Vista, Colorado.
