Antony J. Bridge was born in 1980. He is a self-taught artist based in the centre of the UK with his wife and 2 daughters. Growing up in Malvern, an area of outstanding beauty, he began to understand the peace, power and solitude of the landscape and has been inspired ever since. Antony doesn’t just paint so called good light scenes like many artists do, he gets out there in all weathers, rainy, grey, bright or misty and finds an inspiring location to paint, sets up either his French easel or pochade box and gets to work with his oil paints.
Antony’s work is now praised, and collected, by many prominent art enthusiasts from all around the world including Monaco, France, South Africa, USA, Sweden, Canada, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Germany and New Zealand.
