Biography |
Born

en plein air. Van Stein's nocturnal paintings were featured both

Magazine"; in an article he wrote entitled, "Capture

to painting nocturnes.
Thomas was featured in the April 1998 issue of Southwest Art
Magazine, as one of six American Artists who are focusing on
painting nocturnes. He was listed as an, "Artist to Watch"

exhibition, "Burning the Midnight Oil" were featured
in the August 1999 issue of Southwest Art Magazine under, "Best
of the West." |
