Tom Kretsch

Tom is a photographer who owns a business called Peaceful Places. He travels throughout New England exhibiting at fine arts festivals during the outdoor season. His work has a painterly quality to it and his mantra is less is more when it comes to compositions. He recently published a book of his work entitled ” On the Road- Five Visions.” in which he featured five themes that he had worked on over the years. After teaching Physical Education in the Norwalk Public Schools for 36 years , he began his Renaissance of Life as a photography, something he always had a passion for. He is a member of the Rowayton Arts Center where he has won numerous awards and most recently completed an installation for an office corridor in Westport. “I feel blessed to have this opportunity to follow my passion. I feel like I am always evolving, learning and growing as I journey forward looking for new themes and visions to explore.
