Toni's Story

Hi, I'm Toni! 

 

I fell in love with Art as a child. It was first introduced to me as an alternative therapy when traditional methods didn't work. Art therapy is a therapeutic approach that puts art at the center of health and well-being. 

 

Growing up in the early 90's not having insurance was common. Mental Health Services were mostly for the middle to upper class, so the little bit of time spent with an Art Therapist as a child stuck with me. Mental Healthcare is still a struggle for most Americans. My goal is to share with others the healing qualities I have found within my own art.

 

My love affair with Art started in Art Therapy and never left me. In high school, I studied Commercial and Graphic Design and continued on this path in college where I graduated with a degree in Graphic Communications and Printing Technology. I have since spent more than 20 years in the Retail Photography Industry. 

 

In my free time, you will typically find me covered in paint with a smile on my face, brush in hand. Art continues to be the best form of therapy for myself and hopefully for you too!
