Tankersley, Thomas A.

Thomas is a self-taught artist and metal worker.  In 1972 he began his career in iron work and soon after opened his own company in Placerville, California.  His skills with metal developed rapidly and his fabricating business grew to be one of the largest in El Dorado County.  After 21 years in the industry, Tom longed for something new and creative to fill his working days.  His first two pieces, a covered wagon and a stagecoach sold immediately.  He was hooked on art and hasn’t stopped creating since.    To read more, check out Thomas A.
