Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Tony grew up in the Bay Area of California where he was somewhat indifferent to the typical high school sports hero. Riding his bike, taking photos and hiking with like-minded friends were more his norms. in 1985-86 he was a darkroom assistant at the Ansel Adams works shops in Yosemite for Charles Crammer who taught Cibachrome printing and Dye Transfer printing. After undergraduate school San Jose State University, he went to the San Francisco Art Institute for graduate school. While in graduate school Tony expanded his vision of Art focusing on works that incorporated photographic elements using alternative photographic processes. Since graduating from SFAI his artwork has been exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, DeYoung Museum of San Francisco, and has had work shown by Patricia Sweetow Gallery and Seager/Gray gallery in California, and Steffany Martz gallery in Chelsea NYC. Him and his partner Mary live and make their art in Oakland working also collaboratively as Quite Contrary Press with their border collie Luna. See more at Tonybellaver.com
