"Tommy Simpson's artwork transcends craft, fine art and fantasy. He is an "imaginaist" who has worked in almost every field: painting, printmaking, clay, wood carving, bookmaking, jewelry, and even prose. In each work of art, the artist "assembles" his personal and cultural references into a characteristic blend of joy and subtle commentary. "The ultimate goal," says Tommy, "is to bring the work of art to life, so that the viewer can identify the human spirit behind the work and feel the poetry of it."
