Tom Hicks
Waukesha artist Tom Hicks gifted his early creations to family, friends, and fundraisers before retiring from his ad agency career. Since then, he has produced a large catalog of artwork, which he has shown in multiple exhibits and at the Almont Gallery in downtown Waukesha.
Hicks’ paintings are large, bright and entertaining. His content is inspired by his quirky view of the objects and people around him. His artwork conveys a childlike innocence, simple and always fun! The titles of his creations work with his distinctive style to shock or entertain us with his irreverence, irony, and humor.
Partly Cloudy, generously donated by Hicks, is a delightful addition to the Library’s art collection. It is located on the second floor bridge above the elevator doors near the Children’s Area. Acquired in 2015.
