ABOUT: Tom Gately or Thomas Gately is a local artist from the central Massachusetts area.He began painting as a young man in his teens and twenties. After an extended hiatus to pursue a career, family and the renovation of a historic home in Brimfield, Massachusetts, he rekindled his passion for painting in retirement. He has won awards for watercolor painting at the 2023 Massasoit Art Guild annual show, the 2024 Leicester Art Show and was honored with the Vernon Graham Memorial Award for excellence in watercolor painting. “I’ve always found inspiration in the architecture and landscapes of New England. I’m especially drawn to the light and shadows that only the change of seasons in New England can provide.” Tom and his wife, Jane, and their two dogs, Riley and Piper moved to Shepherdstown, WV, in the fall of 2025 to be closer to family. “I’m looking forward to painting scenes from the tri-state area. Like New England, this area is so rich in history it provides an abundance of subject matter that I’m excited to interpret in my art.”
