Artist Tom Blood and gallery owner/curator Brooke Piepert stand in front of the painting, “Happiness Released,” at Good Weather Gallery in Edwardsville.
EDWARDSVILLE This is a story about a self-taught artist who couldn’t find a gallery to support his work, a gallery owner trying its best to survive amid COVID-19, and a painting that seems to generate happiness to those who view it.
Tom Blood has been creating art since he was a little kid but knew he probably couldn’t build a career around it, so he chose instead to use his creative talents by creating advertising. His career continues to this day via his BloodLines Creative business.
