Over twenty eight years ago, with the support of his wife, family and friends, Tom Varano opened his portrait studio, Varano Photography (varano.com). Since that day he has been following his dreams, living with passion. As an artist, Tom creates beautiful portraits of people through the art form of photography. Tom loves making people feel beautiful using his camera, which has been the driving factor behind his business since he was nineteen years old.

Now, adding to his repertoire, Tom has adopted speed painting mixed with inspirational speaking as an additional form of encouragement. Tom uses fingertips, palms and multiple brushes to paint custom portraits and famous people on a 4 foot by 5 foot canvas in just a matter of minutes. His creations are all choreographed to powerful music that draws the audience into what is being created on the blank canvas. Tom's Emotion Into Art™ performance is described as taking his audience through an amazing journey of excitement, suspense, motivation and surprise. His ability to captivate his audience and share the experience of color, music, and action is a way to bring people into the world of art, inspiration and creativity.
