Antonio Nogueira is a husband, father, professional pushrim wheelchair racer, and art teacher in Jersey City. Nogueira is an elite athlete who has competed in the 1992 and 1996 Paralympics and continues to compete in open and masters division. He graduated from Montclair State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Art Education. He works with large canvases because he enjoys the physical challenge of painting in a grand-scale. Nogueira’s movement around a canvas with single strokes results in long, contour lines and curves that are consistent elements in his paintings.www.artonio.com
