Its once again time for Weekend on Main here in downtown Pleasanton. Come down and enjoy great food, live music and stop by Studio Seven Arts and meet local artists selling and demonstrating their craft.

Meet acrylic painter Thomas Cory, come take a look as he demonstrates his technique and view his art pieces, talk with Thom about his long career and what inspires him to paint.

Thom grew up in an art-centered family; everyone played an instrument and sang. His elementary school years provided arts education in drawing, painting, and art history. In school, he continued to draw and paint, but also studied architectural design. For the first two years of college his major was architecture, yet during his third year realized his passion was really in art and at that moment decided to make art his full-time profession.

Thomas Cory’s specialty at Studio Seven Arts is birds and we carry as many as he can paint for us!
