Artshak Studio and Gallery

Owners are fascinating, love art and are very experienced. Art is thier passion. Personal transition to make if you have been looking at retail/corporate cookie cutter art to Tom Seaman's amazing sculptures. His photo books are illuminative of the many pieces he has done and are now on display in public buildings, land and private homes. His many varied life experiences including how he got into art full time are fascinating. Cheers to the artist who loves his craft and does exceedingly well with it.
