Uncork your creativity this summer at the Festival of Arts! Enjoy a fun painting workshop, while surrounded by beautiful art. Learn easy step-by-step processes, as taught by noted Festival exhibitor Tom Swimm. Beginners and all levels are invited – take home your finished masterpiece! All supplies and complimentary wine or beverage are included.

Must be 21 or older to participate.

An artist whose life has been guided by many creative pursuits, Tom Swimm began painting at a very young age and developed his painting methods by experimenting with various techniques and by studying the great works of Van Gogh, Hopper, Gaugin, Cezanne and Monet. The work of these artists provided the influence and inspiration that has guided Swimm on his own personal artistic journey.

Born and raised on the East Coast, Tom had a successful career as a commercial advertising artist in New York, then resettled in southern California with his wife and son in 1982. Inspired by the light and landscape of Laguna, he renewed his passion for painting, and was accepted at his first exhibition in the Festival of Arts in 1988.
