Angela Trotta Thomas

Angela has been a realist painter since receiving a Masters degree in Art from Marywood University, Scranton PA.  She was enrolled in their famed “Get Your Master’s with the Masters” program.  

Only artist ever licensed by Lionel Trains LLC.

She has been painting Lionel trains for almost 30 years. Her main focus in her paintings has been about traditions being passed down for many generations to come. Angela's paintings have always revolved around the child’s part in these traditions. Lionel trains are truly a part of the American fabric, and she is captivated by these cherished toys and the traditions they have inspired in generations of children. 

“I am most interested in the emotional attachment that the child has for their treasures and the traditions that they have forged. I strive to capture a dreamlike state with my paint application so viewing the paintings can take the viewer to another time and place.”
