"America's Preeminent Painter of Wine"

With his remarkable, bold paintings of wine, Thomas Arvid is quickly earning himself a national reputation as a rising star.  His work is showcases in galleries across the country and has been seen in numerous publications, including a recent spread in Wine Spectator Magazine.  His paintings are found in many prominent collections, and they are a particular favorite amongst wineries and vineyard owners who  acknowledge Thomas 
as today's preeminent painter of wine.

But it's not just the wine lovers and makers who are taken with Thomas's work.  With his original, refreshing approach to still life, and the passion he brings to it, he has captured the collective imagination of wine collectors and art collectors alike.  For, perhaps the first time, these diverse markets have found a common bond with Thomas's images.
