About the Artist

The

Trickel Collection

He began working with the art of fish carving because he has always loved nature and working with wood. It seemed a natural blending of two of his passions to carve in wood the splendor he observes in nature.

Tom chose fish as his primary subjects because of their beauty and grace of movement. He attempts to show his love of nature in the detail of the carving and painting of his fish and the habitat in which they are displayed.
