Customer's Words
Words from those who’ve welcomed art into their lives.
"You have been a real trooper to fight your way through major traffic to come to our COA in Weston. I have to tell you again how much I have enjoyed and learned from your class. You are an amazing artist and I have learned a whole new set of skills that will forever change how I paint."
— Pat
“I know that we will enjoy viewing your beautiful paintings every day."
Tony is a terrific artist, he looked so relaxed as he painted away. I love how he so aptly names his paintings ~ “Nervous Wreck”, “Piers to be cold”
— Nancy Faye Glass
“He is very talented- so neat to hear how he started... and moved into his love of wet on wet watercolor. I especially love his "Hopper's Bridge" painting. Wonderful interview and wonderful artist!"

THE PROCESS
My work begins with direct observation
the shifting light, the curve of a horizon, the fleeting color of sky and sea. From there, I translate these impressions into form, building each piece with transparent washes, layered tones, and intentional texture.
It’s less about recording a scene than capturing an atmosphere — the mood, the movement, the emotion behind the moment.
Each finished painting is meant to connect, offering collectors not just an image, but an experience of place and memory.
Every piece is created to capture atmosphere and emotion
offering you more than an image, a lasting sense of place to call your own.
