“Painting tomorrow’s memories today” is how Tom Sierak likes to describe his pastel paintings. He says, “People often talk about the 'good old days' and how nice it would be to return to them but I believe the times we're living now are the good ol’ days of tomorrow. Places and things may change around us, but that special bond that exists between children, parents, grandparents and even pets, never does. I try to convey a message of warmth and emotion, and hope these late 20th century portraits of American life eventually become viewer's window to the past.”
