Thomas Arvid is a Detroit native with no formal art training who never dreamed of making a career as an artist, but was encouraged to find a secure job and dedicate himself to the blue collar work ethics of his home. Though drawing, painting murals and doing illustrations were apart of Thomas Arvid's childhood, Arvid thought the only opportunities in the industry were commercial artist, sign-painters, or draftsmans alike. Thomas Arvid moved to Atlanta from Detroit in 1986 and found new techniques and inspirations to work with oils, and eventually his discovery of the beauty of wine as a vehicle for his artistic vision.
Thomas Arvid is awed by the response to his work, "Wine is a great subject because people are familiar with it; they really connect to it. My paintings are really the landscapes between people sharing wine - it's amazing that my collectors find personal fulfillment in my work, especially when I'm just doing what I love."
Acclaimed for its ability to capture a traditional subject in a startlingly new style, Thomas Arvid's work has been featured in many influential publications, including Wine Spectator, Decor, Points North and Art World News.

Doug Shafer, of Shafer Family Vineyards, likens Thomas Arvid's skill to that of a winemaker, "Arvid's style is big and bold, with enough selected detail and softness to create a sense of balance. . . this blend of elements is precisely what winemakers hope to bring to their top vintages."
