  • “Professional artists don’t get inspired. If you wait to get inspired you’ll starve to death,” he said. Tony Biagi is a bit of a pragmatist. He does what works, and it’s been working now for well over 40 years. Biagi, a decorated veteran, discovered his artistic gift after he was injured and hospitalized on a mission in Vietnam. During his two-month stay in the hospital, Biagi became despondent and prayedthat God would be with him. One day, God answered his prayers when a Red Cross worker visited Biagi and gave him a paint by numbers set. Biagi enjoyed the gift and quickly began putting it to use. However, he soon abandoned the elementary painting books and began looking through magazines for new material. Before long, hospital patients and Army officials were soliciting Biagi for personal paintings. After completing a painting, he would give the work away free of charge. Biagi soon realized that there was quite a market for his artwork. Upon his return to America, Biagi began painting each evening after returning from the office. Each day he would follow the same routine. He’d come home, eat supper and retire to his upstairs studio where he would work continuously for four to five hours. His wife soon brought to his attention that he was making more money painting at night and on weekends than he did during the week. Biagi requested a discharge from the U.S. Army and never looked back. Since the late 60s, Biagi has painted professionally and has completed between 80 and 90 prints. He has sold most of them. A few originals remain hanging from the wall of his home. Also adorning the walls of his residence are many of his limited edition prints. Although Biagi has specialized in wildlife painting, he has recently incorporated this subject matter into other medium such as sculpting and wood carving. Biagi’s other interests include Civil War-era paintings. Biagi has painted university campuses by commission and has sold original works to individuals and corporations throughout the United States and Europe.
