Tom Rierden (b. 1960)
Colorado Institute of Art,
and the Art Institute of Seattle. He began his career as a stained-glass window
designer, but immeresed himself in painting after working as an assistant
for William Cummings. Rierden is known for his unique painting technique using
alternating layers of egg tempera and wax, a method developed during the Renaissance
and rarely used by modern artists. His colors recall the psychedelic blacklight
posters of the 60s, which Rierden describes as a "shake, rattle and roll" effect
on the viewer. Rierden's paintings are represented in the collections of McDonalds
Corporation, Microsoft, and Duncan Aviation. The artist currently maintains
his studio in Orcas Island, Washington.
