A testament to the world-class wines of Napa Valley and to the undeniable mastery of Arvid, “Making History” celebrates both the victory of the underdog and the craftsmanship and excellence of the American spirit. Since his first visit to Napa Valley in 1997, Arvid has had a steady presence there and considers the valley his “home away from home.” Much of his life in Napa is centered around Mama (Suzanne) Salvestrin. After many mornings and lazy afternoons loitering in the kitchen with Mama while she baked goods to raise money for the St. Helena Historical Society, Arvid suggested there could be a more expedient way to raise funds. So together, they cooked up an idea: Arvid could gather his artist friends, and using images from the Historical Society archives, they could create paintings based on them and thus bring history back to life. The final creations could be auctioned to benefit the society. Hence the annual gala fundraiser, “History Becomes Art,” was born. All proceeds from the sale of the original “Making History” benefited the Historical Society, and the painting graces the walls of a custom home overlooking the vineyards of Napa, perfectly set amidst the beautiful valley that it so proudly commemorates. Thomas Arvid (American) possesses an unerring ability to refine a moment. In doing so he captures our wonder and has become an art world phenomenon with his oversized still life contemporary compositions of wine and the rituals surrounding it. Arvid astounds viewers with the intricate details of his photo-realism images and with his mastery of light, depth, and reflection. The magic of his painting is in Arvid's ability to visualize and chronicle an entire scene beyond the frame—to tell a story of enjoyment and the good life—using lush color and adroit composition. Arvid is passionate about art and wine; a collector of both, he strives to capture the pleasure of a life well lived on each canvas.
