She has no formal art training; however her work has won numerous awards, including the Christopher Parsons Award for Artistic Excellence and a first prize in the Wildlife Artist of the Year competition. She was the overall winner of the PAWS (Paint a Wildlife Subject) Championship, being considered the best wildlife artist in the thirteen years of the competition. Demand for her work is increasing steadily, with pieces held in private collections throughout the UK and Europe.
Toni produces both feather perfect portraits of birds and large atmospheric landscapes, often featuring the wide open spaces and impressive skies of the Eastern Counties. She only paints birds she knows well; inspiration is most likely to come from morning walks with her dog who waits more or less patiently as she sketches! Recent visits to South Africa have added some more exotic species to her repertoire.
She exhibits regularly at the British Birdwatching Fair, the Mall Galleries, London, and with the Wildlife Art Society. Toni is represented by Birdscapes Gallery in Norfolk and Wild at Heart Gallery in Lincolnshire.
