Angela Thomas is the premier toy train artist in America and one of the few women painters of classic automobile fine art. She is the only artist ever licensed by Lionel Trains LLC. She has been a realist painter since receiving a Master’s degree in Art from Marywood University, Scranton PA. She was enrolled in their famed “Get Your Master’s with the Masters” program. She has been painting Lionel trains for almost 30 years. Her main focus in her paintings has been about traditions being passed down for many generations to come. Angela’s paintings have always revolved around the child’s part in these traditions. Lionel trains are truly a part of the American fabric, and she is captivated by these cherished toys and the traditions they have inspired in generations of children.
That isn’t her only claim to fame. Angela has created many paintings of interiors, streets of downtown Charleston and pets. Her paintings are for sale at the Reinert Fine Art Gallery on King Street. Her demo at the Guild March meeting will be concentrating on painting pets.
