Artist

Mary Sydnor Digby

Although I am an abstract oil painter at heart, I recently fell in love with metallic watercolor paints and black watercolor paper.

I refer to my stylized flowers and ferns as “space flora” due to their shiny and reflective nature on a dark background. Their vase shapes are inspired by NC pottery and Blenko glass.

It is a joy for me to offer original artwork affordably priced to anyone who might want to display smaller pieces or give as a special gift!

Toni Evans

Toni Evans, the youngest of a family of 5 from New York, developed a passion for art at a young age. Graduating college with a fine arts degree and a minor in art history, Toni's artistic journey took an unexpected turn after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, anxiety, OCD, and schizo-effective disorder. For her, art evolved into a crucial form of therapeutic release.

Her identity as an artist living with bipolar disorder fuels her passion for crafting pieces that capture episodes, emotions, and personal growth, expressed through color, texture, and brush strokes.
