Thomas Chopp is Detroit Dreaming's founding artist in residency. Born in the mid 1950's, Tom started off as a painter in the early 1960’s when he sold his first painting to an uncle at the age of seven. Around the 1980’s he transitioned away from paint brushes, acrylic paints, mural paintings and large canvases towards 16 mm film photography. Eventually Tom found his calling in digital photography in the early 2000’s. His artistic eye is now projected through a camera lens as he chases the light in an around the City of Detroit and uses a computer mouse as his modern day paint brush to showcase the detail and beauty within the city's architecture, spiritual places, sacred geometry, Belle Isle, cars and its skyline. Tom is also a carpenter by trade which allows him to fabricate custom frames and stretch his own canvases for his photographs. His ultimate goal is to come full circle with his crafts and begin painting some of the thousands of photographs he has captured with his cameras over the years.
Thomas Chopp joined the local and international artistic forces of Donna Chopp, Matthew DeWitt and Zeinab Elneil. Together they created an artistic and entrepreneurial collective that has come to be known as "Detroit Dreaming" (www.detroitdreaming.com).
