Thomas, Andy

Many call Andy Thomas the ‘Storyteller’ and if you have ever had a chance to view his work you just might agree. He tells many stories with his action filled western art and is bringing the cowboys back to life. In the past, Andy has painted many subjects from American History, a picnic by the river, kids playing sports to a brutal bear fight. All of his paintings end up telling you, the viewer some kind of story of our lives. You just never know what he will present to you next.  Andy began his professional art career in the fall of 1991 after sixteen years with Leggett & Platt, Inc.   He works from his studio in Carthage, Missouri to create unique oil paintings that tell a story.  
You can find his work in magazine articles Western Art Collector, Art of the West, Rural Missouri, National Park Service brochures and educational books by the Franklin Watts Children Press, Harcourt and others. He has also illustrated books and (with his permission) images have been used on many book covers.
