Art shaped by the coast, deserts, and mountains.
The studio
My Studio is a direct response to the environments that have surrounded me for years: California beaches, open ocean, deserts, and mountains. Rather than depicting any one place, the work draws from the overlap between them—the drift, movement, and quiet force that connects these landscapes. This fusion defines both the studio’s direction and the work created within it.

Tom Applegate
My work is shaped by a lifetime of disciplined practice—both in the studio and in the field. Years as a climber, surfer, wildlife biologist, outdoor explorer inform a visual language grounded in observation, structure, and restraint.
