About

Anthony started his career in Art as a Fine Arts Painter, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design in 1996. Schooled in Painting, Illustration and Photography, he brings a unique eye and a subtle sense of color harmony and expression to his work.

Working on a Winter landscape, 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

In addition to working as a Fine Artist, Anthony runs his own Martial Arts Studio and also works as a Freelance Graphic Designer, Illustrator and Web Designer as such opportunities arise.

After a 10 year layoff from regular studio painting, Anthony returned to the Fine Art community, participating in a number of Plein Air (outdoor, on location) painting contests beginning in 2009, working primarily in Oils, Watercolor and Gouache.

Anthony is currently writing a book about Painting, and organizing material for a series of workshops beginning April of 2014.
