JULY VISITING ARTIST ANTONIO MORA--CROTON RIVER ARTISANS GALLERY, 7/11 RECEPTION

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton -- our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship -- in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

HOME | Croton River Artisan

Join Croton River Artisans in welcoming painter Antonio Mora as our July visiting artist. Meet the artist at a free public reception on Saturday, July 11 4-6pm.

After a long and rewarding career as an art director and graphic designer, Antonio felt drawn back to the canvas.

His work is shaped by the professional experiences, personal journeys, and creative influences that have enriched his life over the past forty years.

Antonio finds inspiration in memory, lived experience, and the transformative moments that have deepened his appreciation for art—including a trip to Europe, where seeing Velázquez’s masterful brushwork firsthand left a lasting impression.

Through abstraction, he strives to express the energy of nature, the power of emotion, and the spirit that connects them. With the love and support of his wife, whom he met when they were students at the School of Visual Arts, Antonio has dedicated this chapter of his life to painting.
