Tom Leighton
Born in Nottinghamshire in 1958, Tom enjoyed all forms of art throughout school life - concentrating mainly on sculpture for his art examinations.
At the age of 26, while working for British Coal, he turned his hand to painting - a hobby which soon became his full-time carrer.
Tom lives and works in the North of England, where the variable landscapes gives him much inspiration.
He enjoys painting all aspects of country life, and his work can be found in private collections all over the world.
