Born  in Richmond, Virginia, Tom Tate and his family have resided for many years  in the still rural part of Southern Wake County near the Town of  Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina.  He is known regionally to private and  corporate collectors for his original works, limited issue lithos and  fine art giclee reproductions.
 

Drawing upon his experiences, surroundings and travels, he feels  compelled to document the fragile remnants of many vanishing landscapes.
 

Equally comfortable with acrylics, watercolors and pen and ink, Tom uses  whatever medium he feels will best express the subjects he wishes to  represent. From soft subtle watercolors to vibrant eye catching acrylics  to the expressive lines of pen and ink, Tom is always inspired by his  passion for the subject and setting.
