Americana - the nation's people and pastimes - is captured with a fresh grace by Tony De Luz, an Arizona-based painter and digital artist who hails from Boston. Commissioned private collector vehicles, America's piers, Las Vegas, Vintage cars, Art Deco hotels, diners, carnivals, neon signage, and landscapes, along with honest portrayals of the folks who people them, benefit by his warm palette and soft but graphic style via gouache, acrylics, and digital techniques. Tony's paintings have been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in galleries in the United States, including the Copley Society of Boston, the Federal Reserve Bank Gallery in Boston, Fort Point Artists' Community in Boston and Spiritwind Gallery in Sedona, AZ.

Currently Tony has work on display at Raku Gallery in Jerome, AZ and Studio Panache Gallery in Sedona, AZ.

Tony's diverse background encompasses over 25 years experience. He is recognized as an accomplished watercolor artist, commercial illustrator, graphic designer, business owner and teacher. He has worked in advertising on very successful campaigns for clients such as John Hancock and Hyatt Hotels. In the realm of illustration, Tony has created artwork for the legendary Absolut Vodka campaign and a 1992 First-Class postage stamp for the United States Postal Service, among many other highly visible pieces. Ad agency staff experience and a strong background in print production and publishing contribute to the artist's ability to collaborate with art directors using time-tested skills in conceptualization, drawing, storyboarding and lettering. In addition to his many other artistic pursuits, he also lends his talents to Northern Arizona University's Bilby Research Center, creating illustration and design work for scholarly projects.
