Rob Thom

Precious (Birth)

A layered composition of collage, graphite, charcoal, and watercolor unfolds across aged found paper, evoking themes of origin and new life. Rob Thom weaves together fragmented textures and mark-making to create a tender, intimate atmosphere that honors the vulnerability and wonder of birth. The interplay of delicate watercolor washes against raw, gestural charcoal lines speaks to the duality of fragility and strength inherent in creation.
