ArtTalk – Dean Thomas

Dean Thomas is a Bucks County painter and printmaker specializing in hand-painted drypoint engravings, color woodcut and oil paintings. He has been a Juried Art Show exhibitor at Phillips’ Mill since 2009, winning multiple awards along the way.

“Dean has created an authentic and personal palette in his landscape painting, rich in light and color, refreshing the viewer at every glance,” says Dan Chard, landscape painter and Thomas’ painting instructor at Glassboro State College (now Rowan University), where Thomas earned his BFA. “His colors are intriguing and original, with unique combinations of color beyond what we would expect. As a result, Dean’s paintings are a great resource for artist and collector alike.”

Dean’s work has been exhibited widely at many Bucks County exhibition spaces including the Michener Art Museum, as well as in Philadelphia and New York. He is represented by the Chapman Gallery in Doylestown.

Dean ran a sold-out Color Reduction Printmaking Workshop at the Mill in 2023.
