TOM BAKKER

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Tom was born and raised in The Netherlands. He currently lives and works in Greater

Seattle, WA.


Tom studied interior design and art in Rotterdam. During his studies he learned about Dutch

painter Piet Mondrian. He loved his work. Today Mondrian is still his biggest inspiration.


For 39 years Tom has been a professional designer. For 22 years he has created modern

art. His work has been sold by art galleries in Vancouver, BC, Canada, as well as directly to

private collectors. His largest commission to date is called “Primarily Family”. It was

installed in a client’s home at Big Horn Golf Club in Palm Desert, CA, USA and tells a

wonderful story. His most recent commission was sold to a client in Clyde Hill, WA, USA.

Some of his work has been installed aboard luxury motor yachts.


Tom works with acrylic on canvas in various techniques.


Currently eight paintings are on display at Hotel Indigo in Everett, WA, USA and eleven

paintings are on display at the prestigious and private Washington Athletic Club (The WAC)

in Seattle, WA, USA. The exhibition at The WAC will run till the end of January 2025.


Tom’s art and story were recently featured in 425 Magazine, Greet-West Bellevue Magazine

and WAC Magazine.


“My art’s mission is to uplift people with color and composition.

It doesn’t have to make sense or be explainable.

When my art stirs someone on the inside, resulting in a smile on the outside, it has fulfilled

its purpose.

The vibrant color stories in my work offer people a glimpse of hope, joy and comfort in

today’s world.

My mission in life is to help and serve others with my God-given time, talent and treasure;

my art is a tangible extension of that.

This is why I paint.”
