Tony Angell
Tony Angell is
Tony Angell is a figure in both the Seattle art scene and the Puget Sound environmental scene. His life’s work encourages aesthetic beauty and unflinching natural integrity, be it through artwork, publications, advocacy, or illustration. Angell brings a passion and ferocity to his love of nature that leaves audience members and readers alike inspired.
Clean lines and rapt figures characterize Angell’s sculptures, which owe more to the aesthetics of Northwest Mystics than what is traditionally thought of as nature art. Angell works in stone and bronze as well as illustration, etching, and lithograph; whether a full-scale narrative depiction of crows in a battle for food or a shy fox sculpture, Angell’s skill shines through.
Tony Angell received both his BA and MA from the University of Washington, Seattle. He has shown his work for nearly forty years in various venues nationally and internationally, including a solo exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, England, and several shows at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wasau, WI. He has written and/or illustrated fifteen books and published two dozen scholarly and illustrated articles. Angell has shown with Foster/White since 1971. [1]
