Anthony Lionel Pittaway
Anthony
Lionel Pittaway has been painting the African bush
veldt since childhood. He was born in Zimbabwe (formerly Southern Rhodesia) and
growing up there established his deep love for nature and wild animals. He has
been a keen supporter of wildlife conservation foundations ever since. His work
is exhibited in various well-known locations worldwide including the Miami
Metro Zoo where his painting of the rare white tiger can be seen.
Anthony’s versatile style, encompassing as it does not just
depictions of wildlife but also landscapes, portraiture, seascapes and nudes
offers a world of vibrant color and international appeal.

helped foster her interest in capturing nature in its rawest in her paintings.

oil landscapes, exquisitely delicate flower water colours, portraits and
at times whimsical style.
