Artist Statement
Thomas' artwork explores memory, identity, and emotional landscapes through layered forms and intuitive mark-making. Blending abstraction with subtle figurative elements, Thomas creates pieces that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant. Color, texture, and gesture function as a visual language.
Influenced by lived experience, cultural narratives, and moments of quiet observation, Thomas' artwork balances vulnerability and strength. Each piece serves as a contemplative space—one that encourages connection, introspection, and an ongoing dialogue between the visible and the felt.

Ceramics/ Pottery/3D Sculpture
Working with one of the most traditional materials and forms my clay works have allowed me to have a conversation with the Earth and and my ancestors. Through my vessel building, hand building, mosaics and sculptures I use 3D forms to scream into life. My vessel building is rooted in a traditional Nigerian and Ghanaian Pottery technique for the last 13 years. I strive to center African and indigenous clay arts practices. Through this practice, teaching and understanding I create large and intricate vessels. |

Comix/ Graphic Literary Arts
I have been working with comix and graphic novels since my youth. I was recovering from surgery and I would make funny comics about my brother and I.

It allows me to tell my story in a different format than other mediums and expressions. My comix are also a visual commentary on society and our conditions of humanity or lack of. |
