Creative throughout his life, Tom Brennan's artistic talent and experience show in his work. He began making things from ordinary materials at age two. Inspired by his mother, Lena Agnes McCarthy Brennan, he drew prodigiously due to her guidance.
Among his early sketching endeavors at age 5 were cartoons and scenes based on radio descriptions. He then progressed to pencil drawings of famous personalities around age seven. Next, the young artist completed two 8' x 4' wall murals while simultaneously finishing several portraits in oils. He made the front page of the home town newspaper for these large mural projects when he was ten years old.
He has been creating numerous paintings and portraits ever since.
