Meet Thomas Craley of TCAcrylics:

The Artist Bringing Color and Community to Northwest Ohio

Thomas Craley is a self-taught pour paint artist whose bold, fluid style has become a staple at fine art festivals and creative spaces across Ohio and Michigan. Since launching TCAcrylics in 2020, Thomas has turned a pandemic hobby into a full-time passion—showcasing his vibrant, abstract pieces at juried shows and leading popular workshops that welcome artists of all skill levels.

Known for his high-energy teaching style and signature use of color, Thomas regularly hosts sold-out classes at venues like the Toledo Artist Club, Copper Moon Studio, and The 577 Foundation. In 2025, he co-founded Wick‑ed Palette Studio, a collaborative DIY art space combining pour painting, candle-making, and rotating hands-on classes in everything from stained glass to crochet.

Named Best Art Class in Toledo by Toledo City Paper in 2024, Thomas continues to inspire creativity through community and accessible art. Whether in a studio or at a summer festival, his mission is clear: make art fun, fearless, and full of flow.
