Tony Sturtevant, Visual Artist


TONY STURTEVANT

Tony is a Native American artist working in all mediums, creating sketches and drawings and collages influenced by his tribal heritage, his political perspective, and his passion for other cultures. He's also a long-time ESL instructor, and a well-travelled ex-pat who's been living in Turkey for over a decade. While colleagues at TED University in Ankara, we collaborated on four book covers together, three novels and one book of poems.

Here is a link to his Profile site on Redbubble, where some of his images can be purchased:
