Paintings and limited edition prints by
international artist Anthony Whiting
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 that region and others. 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 many 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 and Charles Sovek. He has art teaching experience
to groups and private students in his studios in Rome, London, New York, Greenwich, CT and now in
Jacksonville, FL.
Inspiration for his designs comes from nature in all its forms -- mineral, wood, flowers, birds, animal and
aquatic life. He uses design principles of contrast, rhythm, repetition and where appropriate, introduces
rich sensuality or humor into his works.
