After 35 years in his own business as a financial services industry consultant, Tony retired and opened up the space in his life for another undertaking. Already an accomplished photographer and woodworker, he was drawn to the creative arts and on a chance encounter with the Art Students League of New York, decided to try his hand at sculpting. He immediately took to the discipline. Tony continues to expand the scope of his work at the Art Students League under the tutelage of artist and sculptor, Arslan. Within six months of starting sculpting classes, Tony was awarded the prestigious “Red Dot” in his very first showing in 2018 at the school. In his second show at the ASL, Tony received an honorable mention. He also studied at the Florence Studio in Florence, Italy in 2019 under the direction of sculptor, Frank Rekrut. Tony has been accepted into th Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Copyist Program for Spring 2020.
His primary goal is to capture the feelings and emotions of his subject.
