The artist Tommy Gallagher is the product of a white American hearing father, Asian immigrant deaf mother, the DC metropolitan area, and public schools under the Reagan administration. A recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design (where he studied illustration and industrial design), Gallagher infuses his work with his unique cultural perspective, a drawing-intensive illustrative style, and a conceptual approach steeped in the ethnographic and heuristic research methods of the industrial design field. Winner of a design competition with Motorola in 2003, Gallagher was part of an exhibition featuring his own and his sister’s work at Washington DC’s DCAC gallery this past January.
Tommy Gallagher works in a variety of media, including (but not limited to): pen and ink, water color, gouache, acrylic, photoshop 6+, painter 8, dreamweaver mx, cobalt v6, rhino, maya 5+, flash 5+
