Tom McAulay

Tom McAulay was born in Innisfail, North Queensland, and as a youth studied under Arthur Evan Read and Andrew Sibley. As an adult, he spent lots of time painting around Cairns and the Torres Strait with his good mate, Ray Crooke.
Tom has travelled much of the vast Australian outback searching out subject material. He works in most mediums including pen and wash, oils, acrylics and gouache. Tom has won numerous art awards and his work is well represented in private and public collections in Australia and overseas. In 1990 he completed a series of paintings of Australia in sport commissioned by the then Prime Minister, Hon Bob Hawke.
Tom was the selected Queensland artist for the Sports in Art exhibition held in Adelaide in May 2000.
