Tom O'Meara was born in Montreal, Canada where he still resides. He is the youngest of five children. It was not until he graduated from McGill University with a bachelor's degree in engineering that he began drawing seriously. After experimenting with different types of mediums and surfaces, this Canadian artist settled on acrylics and oils on prepared wood panels. His paintings grace the homes of noted individuals and institutions such as Rachel Robinson, The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Mike Schmidt, Dale Murphy, Tim Raines, Andre Dawson, and more.
