By the age of two, John Toms was drawing and tracing pictures of his family and precious life experiences. As a young child John developed a strong passion for creating. After high school, John furthered his education at the Colorado Institute of Art and the European Institute of Commercial & Fine Art. John’s fine artwork is mostly self-taught. He didn’t pick up a paint brush until after his return from Europe. Over the years, he’s worked hard to develop his own unique style. Substance has always been important. The work must be more than just a pretty picture.

His artwork is categorized by strong compositions and vibrant color, through the use of acrylic, water colors, luma dyes, pastels, inks, colored pencils, and charcoal. John approaches his craft with sincere passion. John first began displaying his artwork publicly in 1979. As years passed, John developed a style he calls DIMENJOHN, which debuted in 1996. Most refer to it as 3D art. Most of the material used derives from his ‘have-nots,’ and is made from recycled material! Whatever is around at the time and matches the vibe of the piece is used to create a piece. Noted for his music pieces, John has carved a niche in the world of musicians and music lovers. His work has also appeared on numerous book and magazine covers.
