Behind the Brush

hello!

A bit about myself,

I am a small town girl from Alberta, Canada; where I grew up, fell in love with my husband and where we have raised our family together.  

 Being a mom has been absolutely amazing, and my kids are my absolute favorite people in the whole world.  I have been so blessed to watch them grow, become their own people & create lives for themselves...and even though I am still raising my kiddos....I just became a GRANDMA!!!  Becoming a grandma is a dream come true.  My grandparents were so important to me, and a huge part of who I am, belongs to them.

Art has always been a passion of mine starting as a small girl. I will always treasure the memories of laying on the floor at my grandparents house, coloring from one of my many coloring books or drawing with my grandpa.  

I'm always more at peace when surrounded by all things nature; whether it be flowers, animals, wheat fields, prairie skies or even sitting in the rain......that's where I go when I paint.

Raising my kids was my sole purpose for many years.  It took me a long time to realize that being a woman and a mom are separate roles that both needed to be fulfilled within me.  That is when I started focusing on creating once again.  I was craving a way to cope through the hard and heavy seasons that we all need to move through, but also all the beautiful and magical moments we want to embrace and hold onto.  Having no formal art training made me reluctant to start sharing my paintings at first, but wanting to inspire my kids to go for their dreams meant more to me than my anxieties.   I started to share and sell my works in 2020 & have been blown away by the love and support I have received. Knowing my art has a special place in your homes brings me such joy and fulfillment. I am forever grateful for every customer and friendship I have made and continue to make along the way. 

My dream is to continue to grow with my art & to one-day become a full-time artist.  Spending my days in my studio creating art and making memories with my grandkids, laying on the floor, coloring and making art would fill my heart like nothing else.

dream big,

Toni
