“| work in oils, pastels and watercolors, and | draw. Each media has it’s own feel and some subjects call out to be rendered in one or the other media. Oil is strong and bold, it’s nature is substantial and eternal. It takes patience and understanding to work in oil. Watercolor is also a challenge. | love its fluidity and accidents that happen. That’s the excitement. Pastels are a wonderfully direct medium, they are like painting with your fingers drawing and then building up the color layer upon layer. Sometimes, | just like to draw with charcoal and see how much expression | can get out of a line and some shading.

 

” A graduate of University of Florida Fine Art program Toni’s passion for painting started her on a journey of independent, and mentored study that has brought her work to the point it is today. Travels across the US and Europe have given her the opportunity to study many masterworks. After a one woman show in Columbus, Georgia in 1996 and subsequent entries in various shows and galleries her work hangs in numerous private collections. Toni spent many years teaching lessons for art groups, in Atlanta, Lakeland and Tampa FL.
