“Tom Shooter had a one-person exhibit in the Westbeth Gallery, October 4 to November 2, 2003. It was a very strong exhibit. He presented large oil paintings that in most instances dealt with the still ongoing AIDS crisis. The work was very compelling by showing the reality of an AIDS patient’s physical condition to the viewer. Most viewers were emotionally moved by the work, and for some it brought tears.”
