THOMAS B. COLVIN
writes with an ear for rhythm, plays music with an eye toward open space,
and visualizes images which touch a resonant chord. The interplay among
words, sounds and images affects every effort: each medium instructs the
others.
COLVIN
expresses these interests with an international perspective, currently
splitting his time between the Philippines and Mexico. He is
available for international assignments in Asia & Mexico/Central America,
with particular emphasis on travel, cultural history and music.
