Meet Anthony: Wood Sculptor

He has exhibited widely, and his work is in the permanent collection of the Puffin Foundation as well as numerous private collections. His artistic and curatorial work has been featured in The Village Voice, Design NJ, The Bergen Record, and the book Addiction and Art from John Hopkins University Press.
