Thomas was studying Criminal Justice at Wayne State University until he decided to take some art classes, a decision which changed his life. He graduated from WSU with a BFA and continued with MFA from University of Minnesota. His up-coming exhibition titled, "EPILOGUE" at Foley Gallery in New York, beginning with open reception on September 10th 6-8pm and will run till October 10. His statement, "EPILOGUE – is an exhibition about 'endings' and the perfect way to end my work with altered paperbacks – a phenomenon that began, by accident, 10 years ago. The 15 scenarios run the gamut – the end of trust, the end of the chase, the end of an ordeal, the end of a show, the end of life, the end of innocence, the end of hope and the end of the line. They're all dark - literally and figuratively."
