Tom Cross’ art career started in elementary school when he was asked to draw a picture of his breakfast. After getting praise from his teacher, Cross has been doing art ever since. His intention was never to display his art, but now, after a 50-year career, he’s showing a wide range of his art from over the years to the general public. Over the years, Cross has worked as a tattoo artist, shoe shiner, railroad worker and a ranch hand. His time as a cowboy shows in his several rodeo-themed paintings, which will be on display and also coincide with the kick off of the National Western Stock Show in Denver
