Paintings and limited edition prints by
award-winning international artist Anthony Whiting
A
Anthony Whiting, born in Mexico of an English mother and American father has lived in Latin
America, North Africa, Asia, Italy, Sweden and England in addition to the U.S. Studying and
working in these diverse cultures has helped him develop unusual empathy and sensitivity to people,
places and the natural world as well as fluency in five languages.
Anthony received a B.Arch. degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and subsequently served as
an architect in the Peace Corps in Tunisia. He was greatly inspired by local art and craft forms, by
the textures and colors of the desert and by the cultures of the peoples in North Africa and other
parts of the world. He practiced architecture internationally for 21 years while based in Africa, Italy
and England. His works are in numerous collections on both sides of the Atlantic and he has had
numerous one-man and group exhibitions in England and the U.S.
Anthony has studied painting at graduate university level and at workshops with Barbara Nechis, Al
Brouillette, Jean Dobie, Paul Leveille, Margaret Martin, Charles Sovek and Robert Burridge. He has
art teaching experience to groups and private students in his studios in his former studios in Rome,
London, New York, Greenwich, CT and now, Jacksonville, FL.
Inspiration for his designs comes from nature in all its forms -- mineral, wood, floral, birds, animal and
aquatic life. He uses design principles of contrast, rhythm, repetition and where appropriate,
introduces rich sensuality or humor into his works.
In Jacksonville, Anthony was the proud recipient of the brAIDS ARTreach 2006 First Prize award
for his painting “Contemplation” and was also the signature artist at the following year’s event.
