We learned a lot from this fantastic video on African-American
and the arts !
Toni L. Taylor is a visionary artist whose work travels through the realms of fantasy and mysticism. She feels a special kinship with the mysteries of Ancient Egypt as well as the spirit of Native America. Goddess imagery is represented powerfully in her collection and as a lover of all things celestial, the beauty and limitlessness of the Cosmos often finds its way into her paintings. Toni’s creative history includes fine art , commercial illustration and scenic painting. She says of her work, “When people view my creations, I want them to feel like they’re taking a bit of a mental, emotional and spiritual vacation… tapping into the ethereal and otherworldly.” Having had no formal training, Toni considers herself ‘life taught’ and her gift a blessing from the Universe/God.
Her professional career began in 1985 with a cover for Heavy Metal Magazine (a division of National Lampoon), of which she was an avid collector. Since then she’s worked with various clients such as Disney, Universal Studios, Creative Kingdoms, Miller Brewing Company, Marvel Comics, Black Enterprise Magazine, MBI ~ Easton Press, Inner Traditions ~ Destiny Books, American Kennel Club, U.S. Games, PolyGram, GRP, RCA, EMI and Island Records.
