My name is Tonya Dunn

I'm a daughter, wife, stepmom, full-time court reporter, and part-time artist.  

​

Both of my grandmas were artists.  They did everything from oils, acrylics, and watercolors to ceramics and sculpting.  My mom was also one of the most creative people I know.  She painted, sculpted, worked with stained glass, photography; and then in her later years became a master at Photoshop. She loved to take photos and then edit them in Photoshop.  

​

So I guess you could say art runs in my genes.  I didn't really discover it though until about 2020 when I started pouring acrylic paint.  I fell in love.  I'm drawn to abstract art.  The movement and inconsistency is appealing to me.  My husband jokes that I'll pour over anything -- just give me a chance.  

​

In 2022 our house was in a state of construction due to a water leak and my dining room/art studio was inaccessible.  I was craving creation and bought a Dollar Store set of watercolors, brushes, and paper.  Something sparked inside me, and now I'm learning how to paint with watercolors.  It's been a journey of sorts as the paint moves and reacts so much differently than acrylic.  I am having so much fun through the process!  

​

I love elephants and water, ie, a beach, our lake house, etc., so you may see a theme in many of the pieces I've created, either in the pictures themselves or the names.

​

I truly hope you enjoy looking through the pages of my art; and of course, if something speaks to your soul, buy it!  Everything is for sale!  :-)  Thank you for stopping by!
