Biography
Tom Varano is from Upstate New York. Over 25 years ago, with the support of his wife, family and friends, Tom Varano opened his portrait studio as a professional photographer. Adding to his repertoire Tom now also 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 loud music that is powerful and draws the audience into what is being created on the blank canvas. Tom's Emotion Into Art is described as taking his audience through an amazing journey of excitement, suspense, cheer, 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. During the show Tom will inspire his audience with personal stories that have transformed his life. The stories he shares relate the audience between the incredible relationship of having a dream and using passion to fuel that dream. There is a simple message weaved throughout Tom's entire show: Be yourself, be creative, follow your dreams and take chances. You never know what you might discover. Whatever your passion, do it with all of your heart. Tom recently performed in Las Vegas for Disney, Carnival Cruise Lines and MGM Resorts. In addition, Tom painted for over 18,000 people at Penn State's main campus, raising money for pediatric cancer at their THON event.

Emotion Into Art K-12
This is an extremely unique Speed Painting/Inspirational speaking performance held in schools K-12. This is a nationally recognized show with the goal of inspiring students to follow their dreams but do it with PASSION!
Most of the pieces are painting upside down, then flipped over for the ‘reveal’ at the end. The audience has no clue what the final piece will be until it’s flipped over at the end. As one Superintendent put it, the painting captures the students attention and the microphone allows Mr. Varano to speak a loud message of encouragement into their hearts.
This show can be tailored to fit within your class time frame. Usually, an hour show
consists of (3-4) 4foot x 5foot paintings created live, set to powerful music. In between each painting, an inspirational message, ranging from a variety of topics, is covered. One of the paintings from each show is donated to the school as a reminder for the students of what they experienced and heard during the performance.
(Additional paintings can be purchased as well)
Emotion Into Art™ Entertainment
3 performance portrait paintings set to music. Follow your dreams motivational message can be added as well.
