Anthony Sheath (1946 - )

Born in London in 1946, Tony was very keen on painting and drawing from an early age and at the age of 10 won an all London art competition for schools. After leaving school he went to work for a short time in an Advertising Studio, from there to an Investment Trust in ‘The City’ where in his spare time he would paint pictures for friends and colleagues. In 1976 he started painting professionally. He had always loved the countryside and painting it seemed to him the natural thing to do. Shortly afterwards he was signed up by a major Fine Art Publishers and there after followed a series of open edition and limited edition prints of his work. Some of which were included for several years in the Top Ten Poll awards by the Fine Art Trade Guild.

Tony, who is entirely self taught, has had his paintings exhibited internationally but principally in the UK, including the occasional one-man show in major city locations.

He enjoys relaxing at home with his wife and daughter in the Herefordshire countryside where they have lived for the past 10 years. His hobbies include playing squash, reading, astronomy, cycling and wasting many hours trying to accomplish something on his newly acquired electronic organ !
