Tony was born in Kent, England in 1960, his father was a professional jockey and his mother worked in the veterinary field with horses. Tony’s interest in art originally came from his mothers talent for painting miniatures. Tony left school and went to art college in Canterbury for a three year graphics course. From there he moved to London to work in the studio of a large advertising agency. After a chance meeting Tony tried his hand at painting pub signs for a local company back in Kent. His passion for artwork combined with lettering took off and after ten years he branched out on his own.
This provided Tony with the opportunity to try different markets, his love of cars, combined with portraiture and lettering meant he started to enter paintings into automobilia auctions at the likes of Goodwood, Monaco and Bonhams and Silverstone. Currently Tony submits works to around five auctions a year, mostly across the UK, as well as working on special commissions.
