Born in Queens, N.Y., Tony Murray is a self-taught artist whose work has been in over 75 National and Regional juried art shows and exhibits. Tony is also the founder and creator of the “Artistic Merit Award” which has made its way around the world honoring over 56 artists. His eclectic works involve various media such as sculptography, scratchboard, painting, videography, sculpture, and photography. His first love in artistic expression will always be scratchboard. He feels the medium offers such vivid contrast and considers it more of a two-dimensional sculpture. His works are preceded with the title and then he begins the process of creating that vision. His goal is that the viewer takes a moment and explores the deeper meaning of what is being illustrated.
