Anthony “Skip” Treglia was born in Boston, June 2, 1946 and grew up in Watertown, MA in a family of Italian and British immigrants. As a child he would often bicycle to his favorite fishing holes, bringing both fishing rod and sketchbook. He attended the New England School of Art and was awarded the Gold Medal in Illustration from the Copley Society of Boston in 1968.

In 1969 he moved to San Francisco. His first job was at the Vorpal Art Gallery, framing works by M.C. Escher and other prominent artists. He returned to the East Coast in 1972 and settled in Marstons Mills on Cape Cod, where he still resides with his wife, the writer and artist Elaine Cohen.

In 1985, he joined the faculty of the Falmouth Art Guild. The following year he was awarded Best Abstract Painting in the Town of Barnstable Artists’ Show.  Before founding Aurora Enterprises, a landscape design service in 1988, he worked as a chef in several fine restaurants. 

In addition to creating assemblages from natural materials, Mr. Treglia has been a recognized abstract painter for over thirty years. His works are widely exhibited and collected throughout the country.
