Originally from the South of England, Anthony moved to the North East in the late sixties.  His love of art began at a very early age and in the mid sixties he was greatly inspired by the Welsh/Canadian painter, Llewellyn Petley-Jones.  Whilst under his tutorship he learnt to paint in watercolour and has since developed his pictorial work further in oil and pastel.

Whilst at teacher training college in the early seventies he took main course art and specialised in sculpture and ceramics. Having been obliged to produce only pure abstract work whilst there, he now concentrates on representational and stylised figurative work.

All his work is modelled in 'Guisborough clay', dug from the garden and fired in a kiln before a mould is taken from each original.  Limited editions are then cold cast in a variety of finishes.

Anthony has paintings and sculpture in many private collections in the U.K. and also Spain, Sweden, Australia and the U.S.
