About Tom
Tom in his studio in West Los Angeles
Tom Wudl immigrated to the United States from Cochabamba, Bolivia in 1958. He attended Chouinard Art Institute, Los Angeles, and has travelled widely over the years. The most memorable and influential encounters Tom had with art have been with late medieval Flemish painting, Chinese painting and the art of the 60’s and 70’s.
Wudl has balanced his painting with a long career teaching art, and has held positions at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena; UCLA; UC Irvine; UC Santa Barbara; Claremont College; and Otis College of Art and Design. In 1999 he gave up teaching at academic institutions and started his own Private Instruction program, Tom Wudl Studio.
Wudl has exhibited his work in museums and galleries throughout the United States and abroad, including Documenta, Kassel (1972); Sezon Museum of Art, Tokyo, and Nagoya City Museum in Japan; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Art; Pasadena Art Museum; Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
