Like so many Sonoma County artists, Tony is a transplant from the East Coast, where he grew up in New York City. He trained under Giuseppi Trotta and Sylvia Applezweig, as well as attended the New York School of Visual Art and the Pan American Art School. Recently, Tony was a featured artist at the Ocidental Art Center's booth at the Friday downtown Occidental Farmer's Market where he demonstrated his skills and sold prints and cards of his work. My favorite place to find Tony is out in Duncan's Mills when he occassionally works at Pig Alley and where you can find an extensive collection of his prints and cards for sale.

Tony is a delightful person to meet and has learned the fine art of promotion while serving the needs of Plaza Arts Center. To learn more about Tony's art, please visit his web site, keep an eye out for the Art at the Source tours when you can visit his home studio, and watch for notices of exhibits featuring Tony's work in the WCG Art Calendar and on our web calendar.
