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. While there
he was greatly impressed by local art and craft forms, by the textures and colors
of the desert and by the cultures of the peoples in North Africa. 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 painting 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.
