(From EngageDirect agency excerpt press release November 2005)

"An intense passion for the visual arts has gained Robert Anthony a solid level of recognition through worldwide conservation groups over the last two decades. International zoological and conservation societies such as The Nature Conservancy, The International Society of Aquariums, World Wildlife Federation and The Audubon Institute have exhibited compelling art and photography of his work for fund raising campaigns, to be later auctioned as an added component of fund-raising efforts.

Robert Anthony is an expert in wildlife illustration and photography and has combined his expertise in design and cinematography with his art ensuring credible and accurate depictions. He is proficient in all media and favors detailed watercolor paintings for color and longevity."

From the artist:

I maintain a progressive approach with my art using digital photography to capture images without exception. Most of my work is of wildlife in exhibition habitats involving actual “in cage” time with animals depicted and this has provided a solid platform for my emphasis on accurate animal expression.
