After working successfully as a Commercial Artist in Tampa for many years, Tony is now devoting his full energy to developing his talents in the Tampa Bay area.

Currently, Tony lives in Tampa, Florida and has begun to display his works in various Tampa area art shows and venues. Tony recently won first place at aTampa Bay Realistic Artist’ show that featured his cityscape, “Deep Downtown.” Tony recently participated in the 2009 Gasparilla Festival of the Arts, in the special “Emerging Artist” category.
