Biography from AskART:
| Primarily a resident of Nantucket, Massachusetts, but spending summers at Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, George Thomas is an impressionist painter of highly colorful marine scenes, primarily in pastels.
He studied art history and archaeology at Princeton University and spent three years as a U.S. Navy artist. Then he earned a degree in printmaking from the School of the Museum of the Fine Arts in Boston and worked as a photographer for the Peace Corps. He later taught photography at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts and was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.
In creating his paintings, he spends a lot of time on the charcoal sketching and works background to foreground, often creating large cloud masses.
