Mr. Tom Grayson was Born in the 1940s in Los Angeles. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts degrees from Otis Parsons. Grayson's artistic talents earned him recognition in LA, where he sold his original artwork to Hollywood movie stars during the late 1960s and 1970s.

In 1979, Mr. Grayson ventured into the Medical Management field and established a thriving business. However, his passion for art persisted, and he began collecting from Waikiki galleries and antique shops in 1982. His collection started with Hawaiiana, but he soon became interested in Asian Art from various cultures, notably Buddhist Art.

Mr. Grayson was an avid follower of Baba Muktananda and studied Zen, Shintoism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. He established connections with various antique and art dealers in California, New York City, and Chicago and frequented major auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's. Grayson's collection continued to expand, representing multiple cultures and time periods, and became his life's work and passion.

Chinese culture captivated Mr. Grayson, and he amassed an impressive collection of Chinese Ceramics and Buddhist sculptures. His primary dealer for Chinese Ceramics was New York dealer Alberto Manuel Cheung, and they forged a long-standing relationship through purchases and trade from the early 90s to the late 2000s.

Mr. Grayson believed that art was a reflection of the world and could connect people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. He viewed his collection as a testament to the power of art, and it continued to grow larger every decade. Mr. Tom Grayson's life was a true testament to the power of art collection, and his impact will continue to be felt for years to come.
