Tony Chance

How would you describe the work you do and why?

I make medium to large paintings inspired by the weather, landscape and sea. I work from studies painted on location 'En plein air' usually in wild and remote areas of Britain.

For you what does being an artist mean?:

For me the creation of artwork is an engagement with the natural world that transports, both emotionally and literally. I hope to capture something of the elevation of spirit that nature inspires, and share it with the viewer. It's a challenge.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:

I am a painter, illustrator, and storyboard artist working mainly in traditional materials such as oil colour, watercolour, and pencil crayon.

Always available for lectures, tutorials and demonstrations. I have extensive experience in teaching art, drawing and film design.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice:
