Loomis has long been an activist for creativity as a
member and Treasurer of the New Haven Paint & Clay Club,
and has won awards for his painting over the years. But for a number of
years his career languished with little outside recognition of his
ideas, while his creative explorations continued to build the body of
his work. During that time his talent was recognized by writer/artist
and critic Cliff Mornay, then by New York art dealer Margaret Bodell,
formerly co-director of Art In Heaven Gallery in New Haven. In
1991, Bodell included him in an important group show at the East
Hartford Mental Health Center, where recognition began to take its
course. Thirdly, beginning in 1995, Loomis’ work was included in
the Chris Butler Group in Branford. From these venues,
Loomis’ paintings have now found their way into national and
international collections. The awareness of subtle, powerful, and
potential energies continues to reveal ever newer visions which
emerge from the depths into light, and resolve into positive
thought forms.
