Tony Troy Member Since December 2016 |
Tony Troy was born in Liverpool, England, went to boarding school in Devon, and then attended London University. He obtained a degree of physics, but with little ambition for a career in Science, he bounced from job to job. One day, on his way to the labor exchange, he came across a group of London street artists drawing portraits. Captivated, Troy acquired a pencil and paper and decided to join them. With a natural ability (that kept him busy in his younger years in boarding school) he soon found himself exhibiting in The Royal Society of Portrait Painters of Great Britain as well as the Pastel Society. As a street artist, he acquired the skills of both story telling and illustrations. Using these skills, Troy has written several musicals which have been shown in New York, New Jersey, Savannah and Atlanta. Now he turns his skills towards writing and illustrating his own children's story, "Mice and the Moon."
