About Tony Roberts

 
 
  • Biography
    I'm a compulsive artist: making, painting, and image-creation fill my mind's eye. My early work was created in a monastic tradition, working with pen and hammer - I was once a monk. In the half-century that followed, I've worked a lot in glass, and more lately in digital design and ink. My artwork defines me, and retirement is impossible to imagine...

    Much of my work is derived from reality: the world and people around me, usually abstracted and often full of fun... I hope you enjoy seeing it here!
