Upon completion of his formal studies at Schuler School of Fine Arts in Maryland , and attaining national success with his Trompe L'Oeil oil paintings, Anthony J. Waichulis returned to his hometown and founded The Waichulis Studio. The Waichulis Studio, a fine art apprenticeship program for promising students, began inspiring and training artists in 1997.

Today, students of The Waichulis Studio are very well received by the local community which hosts their annual exhibit, "Capturing Realism." Additionally, many graduates are recipients of prestigious awards, published nationally, represented by well respected galleries, and assist in the instruction of new apprentices. The Waichulis Studio continues to grow in reputation and expectation.
