Tom and Jennifer Cover, Owners

Thomas Cover

Founder/Owner

Tom built the LRA business on the foundation that beautifully appointed homes deserve walls that feature the finest art that is also affordable and made by artists in America. An artist himself, his dual objectives have always been to connect talented, working artists with enthusiastic buyers. Through this vision, and his dedication, Tom has helped several talented artists build successful careers.

Ben O’Neill

Raised in Southwest Ohio, Ben moved to Nashville to study Audio Engineering at Belmont University.

With his mom (J Austin Jennings) he owns Red Dog Master Prints, LRA’s sister company and print division. Ben is Manager of Prints & Archiving for LRA. Outside of work, Ben is a talented musician, who enjoys playing drums and collaborating with musician friends and family.
