About the Artist

In 1925, at the age of 13, Tom emigrated from Italy to join his father in Australia. His artistic nature first found expression through painting murals of orchards on the walls of his father's fruit shop, and when he became an adult, he was apprenticed as a statue painter to the Mattei brothers. In 1935 he started his own business manufacturing and restoring religious statues, which he continued until his abilities were impaired by an illness in 2006.
