Tom DeWalt As an art student, Tom studied studio art and art history at UCSB and UCSB's College of Creative Studies. A move in 1974 to the Hollister Ranch inspired Tom to paint outdoors. Tom would spend the next 28 years painting the ranch's unique coastal vistas. Those years had a profound effect on him as a painter and his paintings were collected by many of the ranch owners, including the Hollister-Wheelwright family. More » Available Artwork
