Tom Applegate
My work is shaped by a lifetime of disciplined practice—both in the studio and in the field. Years as a climber, surfer, wildlife biologist and outdoor explorer inform a visual language grounded in observation, structure, and restraint. In addition to my art, I create a line of professional art panels for myself and other artists.
