Tonya loves creating images of all kinds, and at times is compelled to paint a number of other subjects including florals, animals, insects, figurative, and still life paintings. In addition, Tonya has enjoyed painting murals, creating coloring book illustrations, and poetry.

​

Watercolors are Tonya's second love. They permit her to work quickly outdoors, create work while traveling, and paint in a way that delicately describes nature. She enjoys working directly from nature, noticing the play of colors and accurately describing her subject matter. Tonya enjoys the spontaneity of watercolors that is in contrast to working with acrylics. She often will use pen & ink along with watercolors for fun or for a more illustrative quality of the art.

 

She is currently accepting commissions for original acrylic paintings, watercolor illustrations, and murals. Many of the images below are available by visiting her Etsy shop.
