Born in Northamptonshire and now living in Weybridge, Surrey, Anthony Shelton is largely self-taught having initially studied art at school and then went on to work as a shoe designer for Aldo Chaussures in Montreal in the ’90’s.

Although he spent most of his working life in the fashion industry, he has always maintained an interest in portraiture, mural painting and, more recently, landscapes.

His output picked up considerably at the start of the Pandemic and has been a member of the Surrey Hills Plein Air Painters since January 2020 and, more recently, the London Plein Air Painters.

Observation from life is an essential part of Anthony’s work so he paints en plein air as much as he can and in all weather conditions.  He regularly takes his oil paints away with him on his travels throughout Britain & Europe.

Anthony participates in plein air events, including the Great Broadway Paint-Off, and has had work accepted into many exhibitions.  He is a member of Dorking Art Group and Pirbright Art Club.

He is happy to discuss commissions and can be contacted at anthonyshelton5@icloud.com or call 07803709890.
