Studio Chaos

Tony was born in the south coast of England and has travelled widely developing his highly personal styles and distinctive techniques from the many indigenous cultures he encountered on his travels.  

Although Tony graduated with an Honours degree in Biology and Geology, he found the constraints of a regular job too restricting to fulfil his dream of painting.  He decided to set himself free and studied at Glasgow School of Art before moving to the Isle of Wight in 1994 to work full time as an Artist.   

The landscapes of the British coastline have been his inspiration for these impressionistic wave scenes on driftwood which he collected from the local beaches.  He seeks out wild and untamed coasts and can be found out there in all seasons and weathers.  He prefers to work from life to capture the varied light and atmosphere and the wildness of the waves which has become a hallmark of many of his paintings.
