The works of Tonya Leitz are a showcase of great art and its ability to evoke emotion. A self-proclaimed empath, Tonya somehow transfers her soul into her work. With every brushstroke, color choice, scratch, etching, figure, and layer, the viewer feels her intent. And the images become a lasting feature in your life. Like a shared memory of something true.
Color and design are always at play in Tonya’s work. And her palates are always pleasing and inspirational. She composes her work to interact with light. The pieces will reveal things as the day progresses and the sun finds its way around a room.
Her styles and surfaces are varied. She blends mediums gracefully and often in unorthodox ways. But perhaps what truly sets Tonya apart is the storytelling depth of her works. In each piece, there’s a feeling to keep and take with you wherever you go.
An artist her entire life, Tonya’s collections are vast and varied. She’s always been willing to experiment and never wants to rest in one fixed style. As a result, she’s grown into a dynamic creator of portraits, abstracts, still life, and many genres that defy categorization.
Tonya studied at New England School of Photography and The Art Institute of Boston. Her work hangs in homes and businesses all over the world. She’s had numerous commissions and also partners with designers to customize pieces for clients.
“My work is a constant practice, always evolving, changing and growing beside me.” –Tonya Leitz
