Tom Atkins is an artist, photographer, and writer based in West Pawlet, Vermont. His work has appeared in magazines, books, trade publications, marketing materials, galleries and in many private collections.

Creating art for the past 30 years, Atkins works primarily in watercolor, oil on canvas, pencil, as well as pen and ink.

His pen and ink work derives from real places – castles, mansions, cottages, spiritual spaces and abandoned buildings long fallen into ruin and disrepair. Pencil works tend towards the fantastical and fantasy, with its black and white realism in counterpoint with the shades of gray blending into one another.

And his paintings?

“I am primarily a poet,”  says Atkins, “ and my paintings are like poems, capturing an essence of mood with color, line, and space. They have become my first love. ”
