Currently Thomas is an assistant professor of ceramics at Florida Atlantic University. He holds a PhD from the University of Sunderland, UK and an MFA from West Virginia University. Thomas remarks,” My practice is rather unfixed. I enjoy making objects, using a variety of materials, and attempting to satisfy my curiosity within these bounds. In my mind the limitless bounds, possibilities, and formlessness of artistic practice provide a groundwork for investigating one’s understandings of the world.”
