About Toni Swiffen

 
 
  • Biography


    Born in 1961 I have loved to draw ever since I can remember. I still believe that it is drawing that underpins other representational art. After my retirement in 2018 I started to paint, firstly in watercolour but more recently almost exclusively in oils.  I love the buttery texture of the paint and the brush marks that can be created. I aim to paint in quite an impressionistic style that looks like realism from a distance but with expressive brush marks when examined more closely. Although I have not attended art school I have taken several online courses and a mentorship, also online. I have sold work to collectors in several countries and in 2024 I was lucky enough to have a painting selected for exhibition at TALP in the Leisure Painting category, and I look forward to continuing my artistic journey.
