Thomas Welborn

ARTIST STATEMENT

'I am an artist whose chosen mediums are photography and the written word. My work is driven by a passion to create images that realize how I see the natural world. Each of my photographs represents a personal vision derived from an intimate knowledge of my subjects, and how I was feeling when I created the image. My words give insight into my work and reflect who I am as both artist and resident of this beautiful but troubled world.

As the years have gone by, my artistic vision has evolved into a style that delights in nature's textures, details, abstract designs, smaller scenes from the wide open landscapes, and the rusting and crumbling artifacts from man's past, which are themselves in the process of becoming a part of the landscape.

It has been a long and winding road, but a journey that has been worth every minute. I cannot imagine doing anything else.'
