A native New Yorker, Thomas McKean has exhibited his MetroCard collages and other work all around town, including two recent solo shows – one at Fishs Eddy (2022) and the Garment District Alliance (2023). He was invited to design the cover of Time Out and written about in The New York Times, Channel 11, Reuters, and New York Nico.

Thomas creates collages and constructions out of MetroCards and in addition to making collages out of whatever New York image strikes his fancy, he’s working on two ongoing projects – one a children’s book (“Sneaky Snail Crosses MetroTown”) and the other a family history.

Thomas McKean lives and works in New York City. He published a dozen books (mostly for children) before focusing on art.
