Tony Thielen

I like people know I’m a recovering Ad Man. I spent 15 years as a designer, art & creative director where I used my skills to make other people money. Today, I apply those skills to my artwork. In my everyday life, and in my career, I have always been direct and to the point. I see no reason my art should be different. I am drawn to creating concise personal truths and interpretations of the people, places and objects I paint. I want the viewer drawn in by my statement, only to leave with his or her own.
