Biographical Note

Tony Angell is a wildlife artist, environmental educator, and writer based in Seattle, Washington. From his childhood, Angell had kept and worked with animals including hawks and falcons that he had trained. As an adult he continues to rehabilitate wild species, particularly birds of prey, crows, and ravens. This intimate contact has provided the foundation of understanding for his artwork that is realized in his drawings, paintings, stone carvings and bronze sculptures. Writing and illustrating more than a dozen books related to nature, he has received the Washington State Writers Award for four of his works including Birds of Prey of the Pacific Northwest Slope, Ravens, Crows, Magpies and Jays (University of Washington Press) and In the Company of Crows and Ravens (Yale University Press). His most recent book, The House of Owls (Yale University Press) received the 2015 National Outdoor Book Award for nature and the environment writing. In addition, his book Puget Sound Through an Artist's Eye (University of Washington Press) is a collection of his artistic works in stone, bronze and line along with a narrative that describes his artistic response to the region he lives in.
