In “Art of Jazz,” Tommy Roberts displays a collection of his favorite jazz performers captured on canvas, inspired by the many people he has met or read about. A Baltimore-based artist, Roberts strives to convey the impressions of experiences he has gained through his life. In his portraits of people and animals, Roberts has an uncanny ability to capture the subject's emotions, character and spirit. His interpretations of landscape paintings reflect the atmosphere, beauty and essence of the scene. A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Tommy maintains a distinct enthusiasm for life in his work. According to the artist, “creating art is a spiritual high that fills my soul with joy.”
