Fortunately, I come from a family of artists and have enjoyed a lifetime of artistic development. After earning my BA in Art, my professional career began in advertising/publishing for Fortune 500 companies in the NY metro area, including Beneficial Finance Co., Bell Laboratories, and Cadence Industries. My dream was to become an interior designer and mid-career, I joined Ethan Allen's team of designers. Most recently, I founded my own upscale resale and interior design store, The Tag Sale Shoppe, which continues today under new ownership. Since moving to NC, I happily discovered The Waterway Art Association and I am proud to be serving as it's current President.

Retired in 2021 after 40+ years as a non-profit fundraiser and event planner. Moved to SC a little over 2 years ago from Maryland, where I was born and raised. Regained my love of acrylic painting about 5 years ago after a 30 year break raising a family, and began by painting pictures for gifts for friends and family. Usually paint from photographs, and try to make my paintings look as realistic as I can.
After retiring from Mars Corporation in New Jersey, Tony Francisco has spent roughly a decade exploring impressionistic, portrait, abstract and figurative paintings in acrylics and watercolors.
