Tony Michale Estrada, 42, from Montgomery, Alabama, moved to New York City in February 1999 to create a life where he could express himself fully and freely.  He attended the University of Washington's Professional Actor's Training Program from September 1999-March 2001. There he produced his first one person show, Bronx-bound Train. He returned to New York to figure out how to be more than just an actor.  He wrote an unpublished novel based on his one person show, and in 2012 began taking figurative clay sculpture classes at the Art Students League while also building a career as an adult learning specialist.  He created his first exhibition at Art Basel Miami December 2018, after which he decided to be more than just a visual artist and began his final transformation into a multi-disciplinary artist, blending large scale mixed media paintings, writing, installation, performance, and adult learning. In 2019 he created his first public exhibition installation "Becoming Unfinished." It was selected as one of ARTnews’s Editor’s Picks that week. "Allegory of the Womb" will be produced for a 2021 opening.  tonymichale.com  IG: tonymichale
