This piece contributes to an abstract exploration of intuition and emotion via colour and unrestricted mark making. It embodies a conversation between the subconscious, paint and surface. It is intentional that the work 'floats' unframed off the wall as two separate entities (panels).
Artist Bio: Drawing inspiration from nature, design, architecture, and the human experience, Toni instinctively manipulates raw line drawings with acrylics and oils to create pieces that, in their purest form, play with dimensions, colour and texture, through an elaborate play of layered mark-making. Toni's journey to creative expression has not been a straightforward one. With degrees in both Business and Health Science, Toni has worked professionally in advertising and design, and as a naturopath, before following a long-held, intuitive calling and taking the leap into making art. In 2017 Toni completed a drawing course, and lived and worked in New York, which ultimately inspired her art practice. Toni has since created and sold works in New York, London, New Zealand and Australia. She is currently in her second year of a Bachelor of Fine Art (painting) at RMIT University.
