Tilghman Hemsley’s artwork gets to the heart of the matter of life on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and beyond — whether he is painting land- and seascapes, creating sculptures that capture the beauty and power of the natural world, or portraying the essence of the human spirit through his portraiture. His work is deeply hued and highly emotive, infused with an appreciation for the history and culture of the region that is grounded in his own family ties to colonial Maryland and his experience as a fishing charter captain and sportsman on the Chesapeake Bay.
