Tony Connects
Tony Foster’s artworks are often influenced and enabled by relationships he has developed over time with individuals, advisors, and others he has met on his travels.
Tony develops lasting friendships, not only with his travel companions but also with people he meets along his journeys.
Tony visited Honduras in 2001 as part of his WaterMarks Journey. While there, he was inspired to fund a school and clinic, which continues to thrive.
Tony’s friendships with fellow travelers, luminaries, scientists, and others span the years.
Over multiple painting trips to the Himalayas, Tony has developed lasting friendships with Sherpas and their families. After the devastating 2015 Nepal earthquake, he raised funds to support recovery efforts through his artwork.
