Gallery | Books | Prints | Contact | Tony

Tony Whieldon is the UK's top fishing illustrator and also a master painter of the English landscape.
The Tony Whieldon Gallery presents a collection of paintings of the Devon countryside and the fish that reside therein. Since boyhood, the love of fishing and the gift of drawing havegone hand in hand - along with an ever broadening knowledge of the landscape and the innate ability to paint it as a true artist. His work is a collection of oils, watercolours, line & wash, pen & ink and pencil drawings. The subjects of his collection are predominently fish, a good deal of landscapes and also some architectural, portrait and still life. Tony is the Author / illustrator of the 'Complete Guide to Fishing Skills' now in a new updated edition.
Having worked in London in the 60's as an exhibition artist and in the 70's as a graphic designer and signwriter, he comes from the old school of rigorous well observed traditional technique. Since relocating to Crediton, Devon in the 80's, Tony has established himself as arguably Britains top fishing illustrator, producing a long running double page strip for Anglers Mail in the 90's and illustrating several books. He now contributes illustrated short stories of his own fishing experiences to Waterlog Magazine and is producing a new range of books - the first of which is entitled 'Simply Coarse Fishing' - published by Medlar Press.
