Tom Sherry studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the late 1980s. As a specialist in Graphic Design, Tom continued to draw and paint and began, among other things, to produce traditional Scottish landscapes. This led Tom to being accepted as a member of the National Acrylic Painters Association in 1998. In 2002 he received a HND in Multimedia Design and Production from the Glasgow College of Building and Printing. At this time Tom also began tutoring individuals and classes on Basic drawing and watercolour and with a friend started up a local Art Club in his home-town of Callander

Tom states:.

In addition to painting, my computer skills led me to some graphic design and illustration work for Absolute Studios, a BAFTA award-winning company. I worked on two computer games for children published by the BBC based on their highly successful shows The Tweenies and Balamory.  In the meantime I work full time as the Supervisor at the local Tourist Information Centre.
