Originally from Salt Lake City, Anthony earned his BFA at the University of Utah in painting and drawing, and his MFA from the University of Montana. While in Missoula he got a taste for community and the rewards that come from being around people who are working to help others. Anthony put himself through school as a bike messenger and mechanic, a ski tech, and teaching drawing and design. In 2000, he reconnected with his college sweetheart and they eventually moved to Bluff, Utah where they raised their two children and a rotating cast of cats, chickens, and a desperately-sweet cow dog. Since 2003, Anthony has been teaching art and emergency medicine at the Blanding Campus of Utah State University.
In the small communities of the desert southwest it is necessary to do tasks for which one might not feel adequately trained or confident. Someone needs to dispose of the trash. Someone needs to keep the books, or show up when a neighbor is sick. Anthony joined the local volunteer fire department in 2006 and works with his colleagues to put out fires or get people out of the vehicles they’ve wrecked. He has discovered, under the stars of the desert and the flashing lights of the emergency vehicles, how important we are to one another – whether it’s an emergency or not. We are interdependent, and each interaction with another person is an opportunity to lightly nudge the world in a healthy direction.
