Toni was born and raised in South Africa. After studying printmaking at the Johannesburg Technical College she worked as an account manager at a design agency. This lead to a position as an in-house graphic artist where she spent the next ten years buying print, designing catalogs and record sleeves, planning advertising campaigns and running their in-house newspaper and monthly newsletters. After moving to the United States in 1994, the artist within started to emerge. She studied with artists like Chris Gwaltney,  Jove Wang, Jeffrey Watts and Sebastian Capella and has taken many workshops with well known artists to hone her skill as a fine artist. 

Toni is inspired by the Russian artist’s use of color, design and expressive brushwork.  She loves to explore the sense of spontaneity and looseness in her work but yet maintaining a respect for accuracy and honesty to her subject matter.

She has been juried into two National OPA Exhibitions and is a member of OPA, CAC, SOCALPAPA.
