Anthony Dozier | City Council Office - City Hall
A native Wichitan, Anthony Dozier has been exploring abstract painting and assemblage techniques as a self-taught artist for more than four decades.
In 2020, he was awarded the Neighborhood Superstar Award by Harvester Arts and Fisch Haus, which came with a cash award as well as professional development and an Open Studios residency.
Anthony's creative method stems from his childhood in the 1960s when he began to use visual arts as a way of coping with a speech impediment. “As a child," he says, "I went silent because I had no voice.” This led to creating artwork that would convey a message or thought through abstract methods rather than representational drawing.
Today, Anthony uses recycled and green materials to explore and experiment.
