Tom Hammick was born in Tidworth, England, in 1963. He completed a BA Hons Art History at University of Manchester in 1985, and a MA in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Arts in 1992. He has been the subject of both solo and group exhibitions across the globe, and his art is held in collections including; The British Museum; Victoria and Albert Museum collection of Prints and Drawings and The Library of Congress Print Collection, USA.
In Hammick's own words: "All my images start from an amalgam of personal experiences and reflections of family life, newspaper cuttings, plots from plays and operas, lines from poems; I am interested in re-creating props and staging as a framework for stories in a setting as a way of describing what it is like to be human."
In 2019 Hammick produced a series of coloured etchings working with Master Printmakers at Glasgow Print Studio, which include the edition ‘Narrow Road to the Deep North’, which was also the title of his exhibition at Glasgow Print Studio the same year, his first solo presentation in Scotland.
