Artist Tom Kerwin was born in 1943. At the early age of fourteen, Tom started painting with the well-respected portrait artist Mr. P. Nisbitt from Welland, Ontario. He also tutored with Mr. W. Harrish, a landscape artist from Hungary. It was not until Tom was in his late teens that his father saw the need for more formal art training and enrolled him in the commercial art course at the renowned Central Tech Art School in Toronto. While pursuing his studies at Central Tech, he was privileged to study under Doris McCarthy, a link back to Canada's Group of Seven.

After 27 years in the Commercial and Graphic Arts field, Tom's passion turned to the fine arts to continue the tradition of capturing the beauty and spirit of Canada.

Tom's goal in the fine arts is to convey "the essence of Canada" -- traditional Canadian landscapes with a new spirit.
