Tom Hammick was born in 1963. He studied Art History at The University of Manchester and later Fine Art Painting at Camberwell College of Art and NSCAD, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Canada. He has an MA in Printmaking, also from Camberwell, and taught Fine Art Painting and Printmaking for many years until recently at The University of Brighton. Tom is a father to three more or less grown up children and divides his time between a painting studio in East Sussex on the sea and a purpose designed print studio in South East London on the Thames. His work, held in many public and private collections, revolves around love and loss and explores what it is like to be human and is informed by a passion for poetry and music, film, wonderment for the environment and the deepest concerns around climate change. He is a season ticket holder at The Emirates Stadium and is hoping that Mikel Arteta will restore Arsenal to their former glory. Patience is required but seeing a young squad play fast paced attacking football is thrilling.
