Tony has commissions with the NHL, NHLPA, PGA, LPGA and many elite sport agencies. He is under contract with the NHL Players Association to paint the Ted Lindsay Award recipient (League MVP as voted by the players). Tony has also served as the official artist of the RBC Canadian Open.

“My goal as an artist is to capture the true personality of my subject. I played OHL hockey as a goalie and was a QB for Bishop’s University and on some level, I think I have brought that competitiveness to my painting. I love the challenge of creating a lifelike image. I want the work to look as if the subject could literally step off the canvas at any moment and engage the viewer.”– Tony Harris

Painting the NHL’s 100 Greatest Players

In late January of 2017, the National Hockey League, as part of the NHL Centennial celebrations, announced it has commissioned original portraits of each member of the 100 Greatest NHL Players presented by Molson Canadian. The special initiative pays tribute to a century’s worth of record holders, all-time leaders, captains, Stanley Cup champions, and Hockey Hall of Famers, immortalizing the greatest stars from the League’s first 100 years.

“All player portraits will be painted by renowned Canadian artist Tony Harris. Based in Ottawa, Ontario, Harris has been specially commissioned by the League to create 100 original portraits. Harris’ work will capture the character and spirit of each player in a one-of-a-kind 11×14 canvas. The oil-based paintings then will be digitized and posted online for fans around the world to experience and share.”
