Tom Pigot - Wicklow

Irish artist Tom Pigot, Wicklow

Tom is a self-taught artist who lives just south of Dublin, in the coastal town of Bray in Wicklow County. To the west of his home are the forests and slopes of the Wicklow Mountains, and to the east are the beaches and harbours on the Irish Sea. These beautiful places are where he finds inspiration for most of his works which are painted with oils on streched canvas. Recognition of his talent and developing technique was confirmed when the painting 'His Kingdom' was accepted by the Royal Hibernian Academy for inclusion in their 2016 RHA Annual Exhibition.

Tom was born in New York and has lived most of his life in Ireland as his family moved to Dublin when he was a small boy. He has always had an interest in art, drama, and music and when he is not painting he spends his time watching films, reading, or getting together with his musician friends to sing and play music. He often hikes through Wicklow with his dogs and of course, his camera.
