Tom Hebert, Untitled #4, 1985
mixed media on canvas
46 x 34 in.

Tom Hebert was born in Madawaska, Maine, in 1947. He attended Manchester Community College from 1969 to 1971 and earned a B.F.A. from the University of Connecticut in 1974. His work has been shown in New York, Connecticut, and Arizona. Herbert's abstracted trompe l'oeil still-life paintings of the 1980s recall the sharp precision of Charles Sheeler's work. His earlier, mixed-media works contain industrial lumberyard materials—including firing strips and asphalt roofing shingles—that are laid into a wood construction. Most recently he has been making lithographs of his geometric abstractions.
