Michael "Chili" Thom

I've been custom framing Chili's work for years. He went from stones to mountains and clouds. I've enjoyed every piece. That he gifted so much of his art is amazing.. Never to be forgotten.

I emailed Chili about buying a print in 2013 as a gift and he got right back to me. He was so unassuming. I have a print of trees in snow at the top of a mountain that is so ethereal, much like him apparently. Perhaps he translated his inside world out through the art. It is beautiful, and I am going to treasure it all the more now that he is gone. I regret not getting up to the studio to meet him. It's
hard to understand why people so full of life often seem to leave us so early. I wish...

I just saw and fell in love with your painting in Canada's Raincoast at Risk book. I immediately went to your website in search of you and your gallery and sadly realized that you were no longer on our earth, Chili. I am so sorry to have missed you while you walked on this planet. May you be finding beauty on the other side.
