During this time Tonya was introduced to the work of Edgar Casey and Ruth Montgomery. She began to learn about Numerology, Astrology, Alternative Medicine, Tarot, Reiki and more. In these early days of her career, Tonya’s paintings were based on spiritual concepts, often reflecting ideas from biblical teachings while integrating all that she was learning about Metaphysics and the nature of the universe.

 

Now, as a Visionary Artist, Tonya creates spiritual paintings reflecting the flow of energy, visionary landscapes, and dreams. They express the unseen, give glimpses of otherworldly places, alternate realities, and pseudo-universes which are wild and energetic.

 

She has developed what she calls Personal Energy Portraits. A Personal Energy Portrait is a reading of your personal energy, combined with Tonya’s unique artistry. It captures the imagery of the visions she sees while reading your energy. This reading gives insight to your personality, personal obstacles & challenges while directing you to your path of least resistance, helping you along your journey.
