TRAINING:
Trained as a student in Fine Arts at Kingston School of Art under the direction of Wilfred

National Diploma in Design in 1960.
EXPERIENCE:
Many of Tony's works are local landscapes in Surrey, depicting the typical British country
scene, including places of interest, historical sites and portraits of private houses owned
by local residents. Other work has resulted from study of varying landscapes and seascapes
across Britain.
His paintings are influenced by an architectural career spanning 30 years, where the
structural elements are closely observed to support the composition.
Tony has taught at secondary school level and is actively involved in teaching at Adult
Education Centres as well as giving private tuition.
