Tom O’Brien has earned critical acclaim for his
commercial sculptures and paintings for The Franklin Mint, Willits
Design, The Bradford Exchange, and The Danbury Mint. His theme steins and
mugs created for Avon Products and CUI are unsurpassed in the field.
Most recently, Tom’s work has focused on commissioned portraits cast in
bronze or painted in pastel. His bronze relief portrait of Joseph
Parker, a fellow sculptor and co-founder of the celebrated Chez Sophie
restaurant, has been recently installed in the restaurant at its new
location in Saratoga Springs.
“While I have been involved in many
aspects of art, my heart has always favored portraying the dynamic of
the human condition. When creating a portrait, I strive to capture the
defining qualities that make an individual exceptional.”
Tom studied
sculpture under Ruben Nakian at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and
drawing and painting at The Art Students League in New York City. There,
incidentally, he met his wife, painter and photographer Renée Creager
O’Brien. They reside along the Hudson River in Hadley, N.Y.
