Born in New York City, now residing in Florida, Tommi’s history includes family owned Italian restaurants and a career as a commercial photographer with a photofinishing business in Manhattan. He built his first diorama in the 80’s but was to busy with his businesses to devote any time to his hobbies. When he moved to Florida, he was encouraged by another artist to continue doing what he loved. “ My background in food was the influence for these dioramas”. His work is in 1” to 12” scale.
