Tony is a lifetime artist. His work isn’t contained in galleries or finished moments, it lives around him. Leaning against walls, resting in corners, filling his studio like it’s still part of an ongoing conversation. There’s a sense that he hasn’t stepped in and out of art-making, he’s stayed inside it for a lifetime. What stands out most is not just what Tony has made, but who he is while making it. There’s a rare honesty in the way he speaks. It’s unforced, unpolished, deeply grounded. Nothing feels performed. It feels lived. In this interview, Tony also shares about his journey through addiction to alcohol and his 28 years of sobriety. The way he speaks about it carries the same honesty as his work. It’s clear, direct, and without embellishment. A life rebuilt over time, one choice at a time. Where most of us are tempted to finish, package, and move on, Tony remains in process. Still creating. Still listening. Still becoming. And maybe that’s what makes him feel like a legacy artist already—not because of what will be remembered later, but because of how fully he is living it now.
