Meet The Artist:
Anthony M. Stencel

Military historian and artist Anthony M. Stencel brings a unique perspective to his works, through his uncommon combination of artistic talent and military service. His life experience and willingness to spend hundreds of hours researching every detail of the work he is creating ensure that the final result of his labor will be exceptional.

Stencel served with the National Guard for 9 years, and was deployed overseas on three joint military training exercises, cross trained as an Intelligence Noncommissioned Officer, and received the Army Commendation Medal and the Army Achievement Medal with an oak leaf cluster.

He holds a degree from the Milwaukee School of Art and Design, and has studied at the Disney Institute.
He has also advanced his knowledge and skills at the side of Master Water Colorist Joseph Fettingis, AWS and the renowned aviation artist Gil Cohen, ASAA.

Stencel has been accepted into both the Air Force Art Program, and the Coast Guard Art Program, sponsored by New York's Salmagundi Club. This affords him the opportunity to be imbedded within military units to document their efforts and lives through art.
