Tom Marsh AROI
Tom is an associate member with the Royal Society of Marine Artists and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters regularly exhibiting at the Mall Galleries in London. Tom is on the judging panel for the annual summer exhibition for The Hampstead Art Society.
 
Tom spent his childhood growing up in New Zealand and was introduced to oil painting at an early age by his father. At sixteen, Tom achieved membership to the Society of Architectural Illustrators. He completed his art training with a degree in Illustration at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
 
The beautiful sense of light and shadow that was so much part of Tom’s early life in New Zealand has informed his painting subjects ever since. Now living in Battle, Tom uses his keen sense of light to render his local landscape which includes the countryside, coast, marine subjects and London.
 
Tom paints with oil in the ‘plein air’ tradition.
