**Tom Uttech** (born October 27, 1942) is an American landscape painter, photographer, and former art professor.

## Art

Uttech is known for his moody depictions of North American woodlands and animals that inhabit them.[5][6] Uttech's painting *Neiab Nin Nasikodadimin, Bejigwan* ([Chippewa](/source/Ojibwe_language) for "we reunite") in the collection of the [Honolulu Museum of Art](/source/Honolulu_Museum_of_Art) is typical of the artist's moody, but slightly stylized, landscapes.
