Anthony was the winner of the Utah RAW Awards for 2012 cementing his status as one of Utah’s brightest painting and mixed media talents.

“Dichotomies are especially important to the foundation of my work. Old and new, beautiful and ugly or good and evil all get fused physically and conceptually in my pieces.” – Anthony Granato
