About our speaker: Thomas Brasch (B.A., B.Ed., MBA) is a proud Mac grad who has devoted thirty years to education before embarking on his second career as a photographer and visual artist. Completely self-taught in the discipline, he is able to showcase his perceptions of beauty, turning the real into surreal. He has had several solo shows in Toronto and has been in several group shows internationally. (With a background in sciences, languages, education, and business, he is able to blend the skills he has learned and apply them to his artistic practice.) His style of abstraction is multi-layered, providing an underlying statement to the aesthetics. He is currently the Artist in Residence at the Clark Centre for the Arts at the Guild Park and Gardens in Scarborough.
