Terry
was born on April 28, 1935 and like so many Montrealers
is of Irish descent. He is a charming soft-spoken man
with savoir-faire. A completely self-taught artist
and characterizes himself as a "painter of events".
The three hundred year old farmhouse, the eight-year-old
playing hockey in "The Point", the river
worn decoy, and the fresh wildflowers are all the stuff
of a Terry Tomalty painting. Terry catches his world
in broad, bold strokes. His works are eagerly sought
in Canada, the United States, and abroad. The extent
of his appeal is reflected by his representation in
hundreds of private Collections and scores of corporate
boardrooms.
Terry has painted for many of the NHL hockey teams
and was recently invited by the Montreal Canadiens
to paint the Heritage Classic Hockey Game. Terry Tomalty
is one of the few Contemporary Canadian painters whose
shows have enjoyed national TV coverage.
