Art  by Tony P Byrne

Tony was born in the mining village of Woodlands, Doncaster in 1943 and says that art was the only thing he got praise for at school. It wasn't however until the 1960's whilst serving in the army in Germany that art blossomed into his life.

After leaving the Army, Tony worked in the Coal Mines at Bentley and Brodsworth Collieries until 1984, when he decided to make his passion for art into a full-time occupation. Since then, Tony has been very versatile with his art producing portraits, landscapes, caricatures to name a few of his vast and varied range.

Since then Tony has held exhibitions nationwide and his paintings have sold all over the world.
