An Inspired Chat with Thom Warner

Thom Warner shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.

Hi Thom, thank you so much for joining us today. We’re thrilled to learn more about your journey, values and what you are currently working on. Let’s start with an ice breaker: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
The simple, physical, act of creating my art.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello! My name is Thom and i own and operate, ( along with my husband Joe), Rainbowbear art. Our brand is art work that, is colorful, hopefully makes you feel calmer and relaxed. I paint with the ideal that all the hustle and bustle of life now days should be viewed with the belief that its all a means to an end. Think of it this way, why do you work? Because money is a MAJOR nescessity! You work to pay for a place to live, food and all the things that are required with those things. Work is NOT the main thing. YOU are the main thing. What makes this worthwhile is when some one finds a connection with something i have created! When that connection is made, we realize that we are individuals that share some of the same life experiences! No one is an island!

Okay, so here’s a deep one: What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
Bonds between people are broken when one or the other of them has a closed heart or will not empathise or see a new perspective. Be open but not blind. Bonds can be restored when people realize we are ALL connected while walking our individual paths.

What did suffering teach you that success never could?
How deep my personal well of resolve and gumption is.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Is the public version of you the real you?
YES! I do NOT have the time or desire or inclination to pretty up appearances!

Okay, so before we go, let’s tackle one more area. When do you feel most at peace?
Being Creative!
