Artist Gallery » Thomas Stiltz
Mr. Stiltz was interested in art at a very early age, and was constantly drawing portraits and cartoons characters in grade school.
In middle school, he won scholarships to art classes at the Delaware Art Museum and began to explore painting. He also studied privately with a local artist, Leo Leskaris, and from that experience, first learned that one could support himself through his art.
Stiltz received his B.A. in Fine Art and M.A. in Photography from the University of Delaware. It was during graduate school that Mr. Stiltz received his first photographic shows at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts and Neikrug Gallery, both in New York, NY.
After graduation Stiltz started a professional photography and graphic design company called,Visual Thinking, in Wilmington, Delaware.
He continued having photography shows and was commissioned to produce a large mirror and laminate work for a show called, “Some American Historyâ€.
He worked with artists Dan Johnson, Larry Rivers, and jazz legend Miles Davis, who recorded music for his 30 foot photographic construction.
About 15 years ago, Stiltz began a full-time career in painting.
