"Tom Cash’s art is complicated and difficult to describe in a few words – just like the man himself.  I own several of his works and none are similar.  He reminds me of Van Gogh – crazy, happy, erotic paintings and drawings when he was manic; dark, sometimes sad paintings and drawings when he was depressed.  All evoke such emotion and wonder about what he was thinking at the time.  He worked in every medium and was extremely proficient in all.  He created some interesting characters that appear in many paintings (maybe his demons) and he painted friends and relatives quite often.  I wish Tom was still here to continue to create his art and to explain his thoughts behind some of his greatest works." -- Bill Bain

"We give Tom Cash credit for art that's both an immediate change of pace and a long-term visual investment. Cash spent considerable effort perfecting his art and, in return, his work is earning the increasing interest of more and more art lovers.  His work borrows from no other artist, but lend Cash a moment of your time, and his work will repay the attentive viewer many times over.  For us, Cash, to coin a phrase, is money in the aesthetic bank."  Gary and Jean Cohen, Washington, D.C.,  proud owners of Cash paintings, drawings and assemblages.

"Tom was multi-talented--artist, actor, entertainer--and we were lucky that his generous, artistic self-expressions left us with durable and enchanting reminders of his short life. I was especially impressed by the spontaneity of his painting.  He needed no wide, natural landscape or seascape to inspire him, for instance.  He could freeze the motions of an ocean wave tumbling rocks on the shore.  Or render a playful image of myself trying to read the New York Times on a windy beach.  He seemed never imprisoned by his artistic need to interpret pictorially the world about him. . At Carmel he crossed the road to paint our house, and when a group of neighborhood youngsters called to him across the stone wall, "Hey, mister!" Tom turned and captured their curious faces.  The house never made it.  As an artist he seemed to see life as a moving target to be captured and bent to his interpretations. .  I always thought he saw the world around him--its people, scenes and activities--as making welcome, artistic demands on him. To our everlasting enjoyment and appreciation, he never failed to meet them." - Harrison Kinney
