Thomas Shaughnessy

Violin Maker and Photographer

I began woodworking over fifty years ago. I began music (violin) at the same time. Later, my career profession was material science and semiconductor fabrication with Motorola, Raytheon, and others. Woodworking became dormant; music continued.

I played with the Arlington (MA) Philharmonic, the Chandler (AZ) City Symphony, and the Southeast (MA) Philharmonic. I studied with Phyllis Skoldberg (ASU). I helped start the string quartet Con Moto here at the Pine Hills. My instruments are violin and viola. Extensive instrument maintenance and repair led to violin making! Several fine violins and violas are currently available!

Four years ago, I joined the Plymouth Digital Photography club. This group of over 1100 local artists have provide me with a fertile learning environment, many techniques, and much encouragement. Travel and nature photography are my interests!

The Plymouth Center for the Arts, North Street, Plymouth, has been a great community resource with photography exhibits, fine arts competitions, and actual music playing events! It is well populated with Pine Hill folk, as you might expect.

This Stonebridge event is open to the public; please plan to attend! Thank you.
