"The
Artist's Kaleidoscopic World"
 Like
a real Kaleidoscope, Toby's art is created with a burst of
color, symmetry of design and motion all captured in "The
Artists Kaleidoscopic World".
Her goal in creating work is to intrigue each person by
drawing their eye into the piece of art, while holding it
there so they may see all of the intricate detail.
In developing her style, she has always been intrigued
by different and unusual pieces of art and has strived to do
the same in her work. She
is a mixed media artist, whose work is contemporary and ranges
from different degrees of abstraction and experimental to
representation. Her
images both representational and non-objective show the use of
color, design & techniques as seen through the artist
eyes.
Toby's
work was published on the cover & inside of the 2009
