Before moving to Florida in 2001 Tom Grabosky had lived and worked in Boston for nearly thirty years. In 1967 after leaving the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts he began a series of large scale pencil drawings which captured the attention of well-known area collector John D. Merriam. For the next twenty seven years Grabosky worked under the patronage of Merriam creating a series of one hundred and fifty six drawings all of which are now in the permanent collection of the Wiggen Gallery of the Boston Public Library. These wildly imaginative, highly innovative drawings have been featured in many gallery and museum shows throughout the New England area and were the foundation for thc collages, sculpturcs, paintings, installations, photographic mixed-media pieces and audio environments which followed. Mr. Grabosky has been reviewed and interviewed numerous times in The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald and many other area publications. In 1989, his group installation "Paper Prayers",a benefit exhibit for the Boston Pediatric A.I.D.S. Project, was named the best show of the year by Boston Globe senior critic Christine Temin and for the next fourteen years the show became an annual event featuring the work of artists from all over the country and raising tens of thousands of dollars for the project. The Paper Prayers concept was adapted by galleries in other parts of the U.S.,as well as in Canada and South Africa and used with great success to raise money for people with A.I.D.S..

Grabosky was the art critic for Boston's Bay Windows newspaper for five years during which time he also did a series of video tapes of other artist's work for whjch he composed original electronic music giving the videos to the artists free of charge to use as tools to promote their work. The series called Look/Hear Art Videos was very successful in getting attention and even making sales for the artists and their respective galleries. During the nineties, Grabosky exhibited his work regularly at the Howard Yezerski gallery and also curated a series of six thematic exhibits which gained excellent press both locally and nationally. His Industrial Strength exhibit and Paper Prayers were both reviewed in ART NEWS. About his work the artist states; "I like to experiment freely and work in a variety of media and styles. I enjoy working with other artists and assisting them in promoting their work. I believe that the essential skills of art making ( A knowledge of light, color, form, line, texture, design and composition) can be learned through a mastery of drawing and that these skills will serve one well whether an artist chooses to paint, sculpt,do installations, conceptual, video, performance art or whatever mode one decides upon. A knowledge of these skills is as important to the visual artist as a knowledge of notation and music theory would be to the composer. In life I value compassion and a sense of humor above all else and in art the qualities I most admire would be imagination, natural talent and the ability to express a depth of spirit. I feel that a work of art should not need to be explained or rationalized, but should impact upon the viewer by virtue of it's power and presence."

Since moving to Florida Grabosky has continued to experiment with a variety of materials; most recently ,gold and silver leaf and is currently working on several bodies of work which incorporate photography, painting, drawing and collage into abstract mixed-media pieces. In addition, he has just completed his first CD of electronic music, a genre he has worked in for the past fifteen years.
