🏳️‍🌈🎨The Rehoboth Art League celebrates Pride Month by shining a light on LGBTQ artists in our Fine Art Collection and is pleased to recognize the exceptional talent of Tom Wilson.

Thomas R. Wilson (1946–1995) was born in Dover, Delaware, and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1969. He began his artistic career in New York City, exhibiting portrait paintings throughout Europe, including France, Germany, and Italy. Alongside his work as a painter, Wilson also modeled for prominent menswear designers.

After returning to Lewes in 1981, Wilson met his partner, Leo Medisch, with whom he shared the rest of his life. He studied with renowned Rehoboth Art League Howard Schroeder and became known for his vibrant landscapes and compelling portraits that captured the spirit of Delaware’s coastal communities. Through his work, Wilson celebrated the people and culture of Rehoboth Beach, portraying people of color, farm workers, and drag performers with warmth, dignity, and authenticity.

Today, the Rehoboth Art League continues to honor his legacy through the Tom Wilson Best in Show Award, presented annually at the Young at Art exhibition to a promising young artist.

Happy from the archives, where even the flowers come with footnotes.

Join us for "Seeds to Stories", a book talk exploring the story of the Burpee seed catalog and the way one catalog helped shape how Americans imagined gardens, growing, and what could bloom in their own backyards.

Registration is free and we would love to see you there.

Come for the book. Stay for the reception. Leave with a new appreciation for seed catalogs, garden history, and the very dramatic business of making plants irresistible on paper.
