BIOGRAPHY
Working as an artist, teacher, woodworker, and boatbuilder from his Gabriola Island home, Tony Grove has an intimate knowledge of wood and its many forms. From a young age Tony developed his painting skills, studying realism before developing his signature graphic style. For the last 20 years Tony has painted professionally, inspired by the play of light and the curving lines of the boats he works on. While not an artist in residence at Eden Grove, Tony has been very active at the Fairy Creek Blockades since February, driven by the potential loss of irreplaceable ancient old growth forests on Vancouver Island, and has since been inspired to take up the brush and capture images of these disappearing landscapes. |
