- Painter Tom Browning
-
- Tom Browning has been a professional artist since 1972. Although his true passion for art is best seen in his fine art genre paintings, he is perhaps best known for his wonderful images of Santa Claus. A commercial venture launched by Tom and his wife, Joyce, twenty-two years ago created an entirely new market for Santa Claus and put Tom at the top when it comes to depicting the beloved icon both at work and play. Tom's treatment of these paintings as fine art was a key factor in their success and popularity. Tom has painted over 144 delightful scenes of Santa since 1984 when Arbor Green Publishers began printing greeting cards and prints.
