Anthony has been sketching and painting ever since childhood. He had a wonderfully unconventional teacher who thankfully recognised his talent and let him sketch whatever he liked during Maths class, which helped him hone his skills from a young age. He has never stopped painting since.
Describing his style as 'modern classical', he studied at Salisbury before obtaining a degree in Fine Art at Cambridge College of Art. His preferred medium is oils, although he also works in charcoal, pencil and watercolour.

I have been fusing glass since 2012 and create functional and decorative pieces from both float (window) glass and specialist art glass including dishes, large platters, wall hangings, boats/fish/beach huts mounted on driftwood, landscapes, clocks, slumped bottle items, special occasion cards and some jewellery, as well as more sculptural pieces.
I get my inspiration from my surroundings and indeed from the glass itself. I love to experiment, enjoying the interaction of creativity with science, often exploiting chance whilst still maintaining control. That moment of opening the kiln never ceases to be magical as each piece is unique!
