Informed by years of jazz improvisation and the tactile nature of paper collage\, his process embraces spontaneity and a pursuit of balance between order and disorder. Tom values fundamental artistic principles\, yet intentionally introduces ambiguity to ignite curiosity and encourage viewers to venture beyond familiar perspectives. While often abstract\, his pieces resonate with an underlying “soul” and subtly reference the organic forms and energies of nature. Ultimately\, Tom aims to craft works that prompt personal interpretation and reveal unseen possibilities\, echoing the belief that compelling art poses questions and offers new ways of seeing. \nAccording to Tom: “I use color and texture to challenge but also soothe you. While I don’t require beauty to be an element of my work\, I value beauty hence Ease Your Eyes.” \nCome to the BFL to view Tom’s work\, which will be on display from November 5th through January 28th.  You can also enjoy his work at The Center for Arts in Natick (TCAN) in the Spring of 2026.  \n  \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Doran_silverDoran_redDoran_green \n\n \n \n \n \n  \n  \nTom’s art career didn’t actually begin with art. Instead it started with music. First\, rock\, in the soul\, funk\, and r&b area\, then on to jazz. The jazz aesthetic provided the basis for his art: study and be well prepared so that when it’s time to improvise- make the leap! \nTwenty years ago he began improvising with collage and paint. Now his art is in the digital domain but he uses the same techniques\, now called “pixel collages”: Use original images\, find things to work together\, keep it fresh\, improvise. Tom is fascinated by nature\, geometry\, and strong colors so all of that comes out in his pictures\, which he describes as a collision of nature and the modern world; at times ironic\, funny\, eye candy-like\, digital\, abstract\, and hopefully\, fun. \nTom is a proficient jazz bassist and singer who is mostly self taught\, he is mainly a self-taught artist as well.  His influences include Picasso\, Matisse\, Joseph Stella\, Juan Gris\, Georgia O’Keefe\, Lee Krazner\, Arthur Dove\, Gerhard Richter\, Romare Beardon\, Sam Gilliam\, and Mark Bradford. \nTom says: “Please judge me by my work.” \n  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/tdoran/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:All Ages GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250906T120000 DTSTAMP:20260416T221639 CREATED:20250610T165127Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250610T165127Z UID:52427-1757156400-1757160000@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:Instrument Petting Zoo - September DESCRIPTION:The Bacon Free Library is once again partnering with Bach to Rock in Wellesley to bring you an instrument petting zoo.
