Anton Nowels is an accomplished artist who has exhibited work on a national level. Nowels is both a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America (OPA) and American Impressionist Society (AIS). He recently won a Landscape Painting award at the OPA National Exhibition.
Over the last two years, Nowels participated in the Brinton Museum’s Residency program and associated exhibitions in Big Horn, Wyoming.
As a workshop instructor at Scottsdale Artists’ School and Winslow Art Center as well as a private instructor, Anton teaches and explores concepts relating to representational abstraction. He teaches color from the perspective of Charles Hawthorne, Henry Hensche, Sergei Bongart, and Josef Albers and teaches design relating to illustration ideas from Andrew Loomis.
Nowels paints a variety of subjects and experiments with painting techniques. The Maynard Dixon Legacy Museum in Mt. Carmel, Utah, represents Anton’s work and has welcomed him as a guest artist at their Maynard Dixon Country events.
Nowels has studied both contemporary and fine art. At Scottsdale Artists’ School, he earned scholarships to study with Ned Mueller, Camille Przewodek, and Romel de la Torre. At Arizona State University, he studied Interdisciplinary Art and explored contemporary art practices, including performance, installation, and video.
Currently, Nowels is working on a series of large-scale paintings that integrate representational and abstract impressionism. A seascape series was recently exhibited at the Mayo Clinic Phoenix campus. Through mid-September, Mayo will display a series of Anton’s landscape paintings focused on geographically-western locations.
