Thomas Kettner Jr. was an artist based in Tampa who has exhibited in museums throughout the Southeast, and won best-of-show at Gasparilla in 1975. His unplanned, gestural art evolves as he works out his involvement, often resulting in submerged images such as a man and woman. Notably, he has also worked for Robert Rauschenburg and at Graphicstudio.
