Thomas Hill has been a full-time artist since 1994, he makes pieces both for exhibitions and for corporate, public, and private commissions. "My pieces are made using mild steel wire, with additions of steel or copper sheet and copper meshes. I consider myself to be both a draftsman and a metalworker. My three-dimensional pieces are based on drawn studies of birds and animals in motion. I find that the steel wire I use behaves in much the same way as a quickly drawn line, and thus I am able to create, in effect, a three-dimensional “sketch.”" Thomas Hill is a British native. He has lived and worked in San Francisco since 1999.
