Art That Gives Back

Art That Gives Back features abstract works by Tom Mayers, a Corvallis-based painter, artist, and photographer. His work explores color, movement, and the forces that shape how we experience the world.

Mayers works in a style he calls acrylic abstract texturalism. He builds layered canvases filled with energy, temperature, and light. Rather than depicting objects, his paintings respond to sensation. They reflect rhythm, quiet shifts, and emotion beneath the visible surface of things. Learn more.
