About

Meet the Artist

Tony Akridge is a multi-medium artist based in Freeport, Florida, near the shimmering shores of the Gulf of America.  Specializing in abstract realism, Tony’s work blends expressive freedom with refined detail, capturing both the seen and the felt.

​

A graduate of the Milan Art Institute in Sarasota, Florida, Tony brings a rich creative background to his studio practice. His passion for music, particularly smooth  jazz, finds expression not only in his paintings but also in his life as a saxophone player—fueling his rhythm, flow, and emotional depth on canvas.

​

Deeply connected to the natural world, Tony is an avid outdoorsman. His love for hunting, saltwater fishing, and observing wildlife in their natural habitats influences both his subject matter and his appreciation for the untamed beauty of nature.

​

Whether exploring the energy of a live performance or the quiet tension of a forest at dawn, Tony Akridge’s work invites viewers into a layered world where music, nature, and visual art converge.
