Anthony Monaco
Owner and Artist of Music City Paintworks
My painting journey began in early 2013. Something about the simplicity of painting lines being so challenging was intriguing to me. A lot of late nights and early mornings turned a hobby into an obsession. While I love the roots of the art of pinstriping, I’ve spent years trying to elevate it to more of a fine art feel. My goal has always been to create extravagant wall art that uses pinstriping as the focal point.
You can usually find me in my studio with a paintbrush in my hand. When I’m not painting, you can probably assume I’m either watching a movie with my youngest daughter or butchering 90’s country songs with my guitar.
The Studio
Located in Mt. Juliet TN, just on the outskirts of Nashville, my studio measures roughly 400 sq. ft. Within that space, you will find an enormous amount of work happening, and that work changes on a daily basis. From pulling in motorcycles for pinstriping, airbrushing the backgrounds for my art pieces, cutting sign board, framing wall art, packaging and shipping, and everything else that pertains to this business. My studio is open to the public, by appointment only, so feel free to contact me if you’d like to stop by!
