About the Artist

Anthony Surratt is a mixed-media abstract artist. While he adds many layers of texture, material and color to his paintings, it is frequently via methods of subtraction and excavation—sanding, scraping, wiping, gouging, sawing, digging—that their ultimate stories and meanings emerge.

His paintings have been exhibited throughout the Northeast and Georgia and in online exhibitions. He is an active volunteer and artist member at Southern Vermont Arts Center and serves on the board of directors of Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning, in Manchester, Vermont. 

Surratt received a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Arts degree from Maine College of Art & Design in 2023. He also earned a bachelor’s degree in communication from Anderson University in Indiana and a certificate in interior design from Parsons School of Design in New York City. 

Before becoming a full-time artist, Surratt was a corporate communications executive for more than 25 years. He worked primarily in the cable TV and broadband industry, at Cox Communications in Atlanta and Time Warner Cable in NYC.
