Meet the Artist: Tony Thielen

Thursday, 3/19/26 5:30pm-7pm

Join us for a special Meet & Greet with Santa Fe artist Tony, who will be bringing a small collection of new work to share.

Born in 1973, Tony is a 14th-generation New Mexican whose nomadic upbringing—shaped by both military family life and his own service—exposed him to diverse cultures that continue to influence his art today. Before becoming a full-time artist, he spent over twenty years as an award-winning graphic designer and studied at the Art Institute of Seattle, the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and Watts Atelier.

Tony’s work blends representation, abstraction, and personal expression, reflecting his belief in embracing risk, learning through failure, and continually pushing creative boundaries.

Guests will have the opportunity to engage with Tony in a relaxed setting and hear more about his creative journey and process.
