About the tutor 

Tom Voyce is a British painter and art teacher, trained in Fine Art at Aberystwyth University in Wales, 

In 2017 Tom participated on Sky Arts Landscape artist of the year, where his powerful and distinctive landscapes thrilled the judges. He went on to win the competition.

Tom’s subject matter comprises of interiors and semi-abstracted city and landscapes. The strength of his paintings lies not in their faithful depiction of a landscape, but in their suggestion of a sense of place, of being present within a space at a particular moment.      You can see more of Tom’s work via these links:
