Just a little of my professional art background. I attended the University of Kansas where in 1967 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Drawing and Painting. From there I went on to graduate studies at Sir George Williams University in Montreal, Quebec. Sir George is now called Concordia University. During the more than forty years following my seven years of art instruction and academic training I pursued a wide range of creative occupations. I have worked as a stained glass window designer, an editorial cartoonists, an illustrator, art instructor and for a very long time the President and Creative Director of Ad Infinitum an Ottawa, Canada advertising agency that I founded in 1977.
After a successful career in the commercial art field I turned my attention back to painting in 1997. Since that time I have been honored to participate in and win a number of major art competitions. I have sold a large number of paintings which hang in private collections in Canada, the United States and many European nations. I have made at least twenty-eight trips to Italy.
I specialize in portraiture but I also paint a large number of landscapes and still life images. My work is for sale and I invite people to contact me at tonyhedrickart@yahoo.com.
