Tom Thordarson, or
"THOR" as he is best known by both tiki art collectors of his
work and the growing awareness in the art community, can truly
take your imagination on a journey unlike any other. With his
mother being an artist as well, she would hand him paper and
pencils to "keep him out of mischief," as she would say. The
years spent drawing and painting would soon become a powerful
tool to communicate his intense imagination and endless spirit
of adventure in his career to be. Thor has put aside the
entertainment design industry to focus on his tiki art inspired
by those early days of tropical adventures that shaped his art
and imagination. "I am painting the fantasies and stories now
that I imagined all those years sitting on the beaches, diving
in the sea or building hideaways in the lush island jungles,"
Thor explains. "I am hoping that everyone finds these enchanted
places, intriguing contraptions or playful characters I am
painting now as much fun to look at, as they are for me to
paint.
