ARTIST BIO

Like many artists, Thom Kulp has always engaged in some sort of creative endeavor. His journey began with crayons and pencils as a child and progressed to water colors, oils and acrylics later in life. Along the way there were other explorations and forays into collage, collagraphy, encaustic, block printing, and mandala drawing. Some of his latest pieces are venturing into the three dimensional realm, but have not as of yet become true sculptures. They are more akin to bas reliefs.

Thom studied painting and drawing at Harrisburg Area Community College with the colorist painter, Edith Socolow who influenced him in the realm of abstract art. Color as subject matter was a revelation to him and his current work is still highly influenced by this. After studying Experimental Mixed Media with Linda McCloskey for several years at the Art Association of Harrisburg, he took over that class and taught it for several years there as well as at the York Art Association in York, PA. In addition to studying with Linda, Thom has taken classed with Julie Yontz-Rupp, Phyllis Disher-Fredericks and Ron Schloyer. He has conducted various workshops in Experimental Mixed Media, Collagraphic Printing, Mandala Making, and Painting in the style of Jackson Pollock. Currently he teaches students in his home studio located in Linglestown, PA. He has participated in many local shows and won numerous awards for his art.
