Anthony Waichulis (1972- )is a contemporary Trompe L'Oeil painter from Northeast Pennsylvania. Celebrated by critics and collectors alike, Waichulis' works have been published in nearly every major art publication including The Artist's Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, American Artist, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art News, Art-Talk, as well as many others. Anthony, represented by The John Pence gallery in San Francisco, has exhibited in a salvo of key venues across the country including the Smithsonian Institute, National Arts Club, The Butler Institute of American Art, Orlando Museum of Art, Arnot Art Museum, and the World Arts Museum among others. Waichulis has also achieved top honors in nearly every prestigious national and international competition held today including The Artist's magazine's Annual Competition and the Art Renewal Center's International Salon Competition. In January 2006, Anthony became the first Trompe L'oeil painter to be granted Living Master status with The Art Renewal Center.
In 1998, Waichulis opened The Waichulis Studio (TWS). His unique system of training would produce artists responsible for some of the most breathtaking Realism of today. The TWS atelier would quickly became one of the most respected apprenticeship studios in the United States. In 2010, Anthony’s highly successful Waichulis Studio caught the attention of a newly forming entity with aspirations for an educational effort on a global scale. This new entity, The Ani Art Academies, was the brainchild of Mr. Tim Reynolds, co-founder of a thriving Wall Street trading firm, passionate artist, patron of the arts, and founder of The Tim Reynolds Foundation. Mr. Reynolds’ vision was to create a non-profit effort that would provide an intensive multi-year art skills education to aspiring artists around the world. In 2011 The Waichulis Studio merged with the Ani Art Academies project to form the domestic flagship of the Ani project: The Ani Art Academy Waichulis. Since then the Ani Art Academies project has seen the launch of two international Academies ---Ani Art Academy Anguilla and Dominicana. Additional Academies using Waichulis' now celebrated curriculum are also scheduled to open in Thailand, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka in the very near future.

Famous quotes containing the word anthony:
“... when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everyone will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses were always hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon to-day has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
