About The Artwork

My recent collection of 3D paintings showcases meticulously hand formed floral and organic forms that emerge from a solid white or colored background. The delicate organic flowers juxtapose intricate shapes with vibrant bursts of color layered throughout the composition. I especially enjoy the rich texture, depth, and vivid hues I can achieve by incorporating pan pastels, shellac and alcohol ink into the wax before sculpting the forms. The combination allows me to mimic the complexity of color and variety found in nature while creating a multi-dimensional effect. By embracing natural beeswax and resin in my practice, I find myself drawn to a responsible and eco-friendly way of creating art that helps to reduce my environmental footprint. It also serves as an homage to the vital role bees and pollination have in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystem. For me, the ancient art of encaustic painting has become more than just a medium; it’s a means to honor and respect the planet in my daily art practice.

A native Texan living in Dallas, Tonya launched her artistic journey with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of North Texas in 1996. Following a successful 25-year career in the corporate world, Tonya decided to leave the boardrooms behind and embrace her true calling full time. Drawing inspiration from the vast tapestry of nature, Tonya incorporates a variety of mediums including oil, pastels, wax, clay and found objects, pushing the boundaries of creative expression. Her recent work explores the endless ways beeswax can be molded, manipulated, and formed to create relief and standalone sculptures. Tonya is regularly included in juried exhibitions winning numerous awards in addition to several solo shows. Her work is in the homes of private collectors in Texas and across the United States. As a passionate conservationist, she led a panel discussion for EarthX 2023 addressing the plight of the honeybee and their importance to human survival along with their contribution to art throughout the ages. She also volunteers her time and talent to multiple charitable causes each year and sits on the board of the Encaustic Museum in Cerillos, NM.
