Ask Anthony Tomaselli why he paints and he may not be able to give you an answer. He just knows he must, as he works to capture the beauty around him. A native Rhode Islander, he's captivated by local landscapes and architecture, and Providence's signature event, Waterfire.

Anthony Tomaselli teaches painting and has been the focus of numerous solo and two-person shows. Locally, he is represented by Gallery Z and the Providence Art Club in Providence, Sheldon Fine Art in Newport, and Complements Art Gallery in Warwick.
