Anthony E. Boone is an abstract expressionist and mixed media artist. Boone, crediting his seamstress mother, Patricia A. Boone, for his artistic instincts and his father, contractor, James E. Boone, for his craftsmanship and drive, began to delve into painting and sculpting in 2005. Following such beginnings, seventeen of Boone’s paintings were displayed at Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey. Boone, then, went on to win first place at the Fort Lee Music and Arts Festival, displayed three paintings at the Novartis Corporate Headquarters in New Jersey, created “The Perfect Cell” for 2009 Converse for Cure, and contributed to the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen 150th Year Anniversary’s silent auction with his commonly loved piece titled, “America’s Backbone.”
