"I like to think that I'm portraying tomorrow's memories today" says artist S. Thomas Sierak.
Many people refer to the "good old days," but S. Thomas Sierak thinks these are
the good old days…of tomorrow. With that concept in mind, he finds and paints
the bonds between children, parents and grandparents, as well as moods and
feelings that are universal and timeless.
Sierak is a native of New England who graduated from the Vesper George School of
Art in Boston, then chose pastels as his medium of expression. He prefers the
somewhat rarefied technique because it allows him to draw and color at the same
time. They also project a "just-painted" look almost always and their colors
stay vibrant a good long time.
Many publishers, exhibitions and collectors have made note of his work. His
honors include the Pastel Society West Coast Award, the Edwin Harris Memorial
Award and "Best in Show" awards at the South Portland Art Festival in Maine and
the Chelmsford Fourth of July Art Show in Massachusetts. His art has graced
many a cover of Reminisce and Ideals magazines, as well as an issue of The
Artist’s Magazine. It also has been exhibited across the country as part of the
Art for the Parks tour, the Wild Wings Fall Festival and ArtExpo New York.
