About the Artist

The magic of his painting is in Thomas Arvid’s ability to visualize and chronicle an entire scene beyond the frame – to tell a story of enjoyment and the good life – using lush color and adroit composition. Thomas Arvid is passionate about art and wine, a collector of both, he strives to capture the pleasure of a life well lived on each canvas. The self-taught artist insists that wine should be approachable; his paintings are an embodiment of the casual way that we enjoy wine today. He is an appealing role model for a lifestyle of easy elegance and unpretentious charm.  

Arvid was named one of the “Top 25 Artists You Should Know” by U.S. Art Magazine and has emerged as one of the foremost painters of American Realism. The Grand Bohemian Gallery proudly features Thomas Arvid’s work throughout the United States.
