ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2017 Submission.

Big Boy by Toni Willey. All Rights Reserved.

I could draw before I could talk.  At the age of 7 drawing turned to painting. Teachers and contemporaries say I paint the way Mozart plays music; it just rolls off my fingers. But as my spirit matured and the artist within developed I felt the need to tell stories with my paintings and images.

I want my paintings to inspire feelings, thoughts and imaginations. So far I have channeled this passion into several Series.  Endangered species is one these, because we are losing one of them every second. When the art viewer glazes into the eyes of one of my threatened animals I want them to feel the passion and love I feel for these wonderful creatures.
