Tom Mence is a painter and practice led researcher, whose primary concern is to put picture making, painting and vision “in the frame for inspection” and to explore how and what “you could possibly see in or with, thanks to a picture” (Alva Noe, 2015)

Having spent fifteen years as a valuer of chattels, fine art and antiques (for which he still acts as an independent consultant) in 2014 he went back to university to do a Masters in Fine Art, returning again in 2021 to do a practice led PhD in painting.

He is currently based in Malvern (UK) and Bath (UK).

He is always happy to discuss any creative or curatorial projects, and similarly keen to work with and be involved with a diverse range of creative, social and professional networks, both in the UK and aboard.
