Thomas Rivers Lovelace

Thomas Rivers Lovelace spent most of his adult life as an ad executive in his native Dallas, Texas. Lovelace traded in the drawing board for the easel, specializing in portraiture and dogs. Having had his works exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts and featured in national magazines and book publications, the works of Thomas Rivers Lovelace are meticulous in detail and composition.

Lovelace and his wife, Mary Ann were avid collectors of English Country antiques and made numerous journeys across the English countryside in search of flea market finds and objects of imaginative whimsy. Charming treasures found along the way adorn each of Lovelace’s portraits as decorative background, creating the perfect juxtaposition of color, pattern and texture that are unique in their own right, yet never take away from the subject sitting so grand.
