Artist's description of the art piece: "While wandering in the quiet open spaces of the western landscape, the overhead calls of the raven break the silence and remind us there are other spirits here to help us if we are willing to listen."

Tom creates sculptures out of composite materials, drawing on the imagination of his childhood for inspiration. He believes that the shapes he employs are visitors from another world — a magical world where anything is possible.

Artist's bio: Tom Jackson as been a professional artist for 30 years. Tom was born in Salt Lake City and now lives and works in his home and studio in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. He first recalls making art at the age of six, creating and painting colorful rock collections with his mom. As a high school student, he won “Best of Show” at state art competitions, then drifted away from art while earning a degree in speech communications from the University of Utah.

After 20 years in the corporate world, he quit his job and set out on a full-time career as an artist, which he has pursued for the past three decades. First working primarily with stone and welded metal, he has crafted numerous pieces for private collections and public display.
