Thomas Horn

One cannot talk about art in southern Illinois without talking about Thomas Horn. He is the ubiquitous artist, you'll likely see him and his eye-catching wares at every winery art and craft fair. Currently his art hangs on a semi-permanent basis in at least 2 wineries and also the Art Lovers gallery in Carbondale. He is a Metal Sculptor for 27 years, working primarily in copper and fused glass. Here's Tom in action up at Cedarhurst earlier this year.

Recently he has launched a jewelry line. He spent a year studying the silver variety, and produced it as a craft for 5 years with antler and semi-precous stones, and now in copper and fused glass.
