Tony was born in Australia and grew up in England. He has traveled extensively around Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia, and draws much inspiration for his oil paintings from these travels.

Art has always been a part of his life. He became interested in drawing, painting and constructing at a very early age. He studied art, drafting, design, sculpture, metal and wood working at Wymondham College in East Anglia, England.

Although he enjoys working with a broad range of mediums including oil paint, charcoals, pastels, intaglio and screen printing, steel, copper, bronze, glass, wood and stone; his primary passion remains painting in oils.

He currently lives in Dallas, Texas, USA. In addition to working on art, he owns a metal design and fabrication studio with his wife, Holly. He designs and makes just about anything someone might need that is made of metal - from bookends, sofas, lamps and beds to staircases, custom store fixtures and more . . . With a background in art and metalwork, and a keen eye for design that fits it’s function – Tony’s creations are as diverse as his talents, and his customer’s desires.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work is driven by a keen desire to convey my vision of art and a strong passion to create.

I have always found myself deeply inspired by travel and the diversity in culture and scenery as it unfolds.

I like to combine a bold palette of colours with subtle and surprising strokes to recreate scenes from my travels, over land and water, into thought provoking abstract landscapes.

I also get a fantastic sense of self when I am creating what I like to call my "mindscapes". These works are representative of thoughts and emotions about people and places; layer upon layer of feelings, if you will. They are an abstract representation of my soul's journey through life.
