NATIVE NEW MEXICAN

Anthony Sanchez was born and raised in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He attended Highland University where he studied with New Mexico artists Elmer Schooley, Ray Drew and Frank Walker. He graduated from Highlands with a BA in Fine Arts with multi-fine art disciplines (Oil and Water Color painting, Drawing, Ceramics, Weaving, Photography and Art History). He also received his MA from Highlands in Educational Administration.

Anthony briefly taught art in the public schools and drawing at a community college. Anthony especially enjoys working in ink, oil, watercolor and pencil. His subject matter encompasses intimate landscapes, still life, and detail close ups. He enjoys work that reveals the basic elements of design found in nature, such as the organic structural form of something as simple, (yet complex) as the seed of the goat head weed, to the design, rhythm, color and harmony created by the repetition of a pile of dried leaves. Also as a result of his Art History background Anthony has a universal appreciation for all types of art forms from various cultures, enjoying painting, sculpture, architecture, engineering, music, history, literature, with recent interest in the evolution of Japanese anime and manga as a fine art.
