Tony Angell is an American wildlife artist, environmental educator, and writer. Born in 1940 in Los Angeles, California, he grew up among the hills and canyons of Southern California. His love of nature is rooted in the afternoons he spent watching birds, collecting plants, building forts, and hiking to the far reaches of the Santa Monica Mountains and canyons. He has lived in Seattle, Washington, since 1959.

While at the University of Washington, Tony sketched and observed the bird life of the Northwest and eventually put together a portfolio of drawings and sketches. He was signed with the very first gallery he walked into, Seattle's Foster-White, one of the city's oldest and finest galleries. Fortuitously, Mr. White was looking for a nature artist to round out his roster of artists.

After beginning his career in the 1960s as a painter, he began to focus on sculpture. Among his accolades is the prestigious V&A Illustration Award which he won in 2006. He is a member of the American Ornithologists Union, a fellow of the National Sculpture Society, and a fellow of the Explorers Club.
