Travel with artist Thomas Hanlon on a Lowcountry Excursion this September at Art League Gallery. Hanlon began painting at age 12 with mentor Edwin Havas, AWS, and has continued to be a working artist for most of his career. Hanlon and his wife traveled the United States from 1989-2015 selling his works at festivals and fine art shows.
This exhibit stems from Hanlon’s childhood of going on Sunday family trips to anywhere and everywhere. Each newfound place became a new subject to paint. “There has always been joy for me in recognizing powerful compositions revealed in naturally occurring situations,” states Hanlon. Now a Lowcountry resident, Hanlon knows you do not have to travel far to find inspiration.
