Tom Perkowitz
I had a life-changing stroke in 2015 and came to Shirley Ryan AbilityLab for my recovery. Art therapy kept me sane during my healing process — not one to sit still, I would often paint between therapies. During my stay, the medical staff would come to watch me paint in my room. Soon after my stroke, I quit my job in corporate America and opened my own art studio. Art has become my life. I love to paint on a large scale and was drawn to murals. I even painted murals in my kids’ bedrooms and in a hallway in their school. My style straddles Impressionism and Realism, often in the same piece, and I usually paint with oil paints. At times it is like painting with light. The colors blend and flow in unexpected ways. Painting with oil is like magic.
