THOMAS ALLEN was born in Highland Park, MI in 1963.  After nearly completing a degree in Criminal Justice at Wayne State University (Detroit), he decided to take some art classes.  This raised him out of academic misery and helped move his floundering GPA off the Wanted List and onto the Dean's List!  After changing his major to art in 1986, Tom spent the second half of his 10 year college career going to school part-time while working full-time for Toys 'R' Us to support himself.  He received his BFA in 1991 and went on to earn his MFA form the University of Minnesota in 1996.  Tom's exhibition record lists galleries throughout the United States and boasts two solo museum exhibitions at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in Michigan and the John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin.  His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Milwaukee Art Museum; Target Corporation; Fidelity Investments and The Progressive Corporation.  Publication credits include Harper's, The New Yorker, New York Magazine and O Magazine among many others. In 2007, Aperture Foundation [NY] published UNCOVERED: Photographs by Thomas Allen.
