SOUTHERN EXPOSURE -SUBMITTED WORK AND STATEMENTS BY MISSISSIPPI ARTISTS Would you like to be featured? Find out More HERE  Tonia Grantham"Tonia Grantham was born and raised in Mississippi where her creativity was fueled at a young age while growing up in the piney woodlands of Rankin County. Having taken all the art classes that high school and Hinds Community College had to offer, she joined a studio class taught by Dianne Norman in 1994 where she fell head-over-heels in love with the pastel medium. After Tonia married and moved to Memphis a few years later to begin a new job and start a family, she joined Anne Enoch’s studio class which gave her flexibility while raising her children. During that time, she developed an impressionistic style painting animals and landscapes inspired by her home, garden, travel, and love of the piney woods where she spent her younger years. She has painted commissions for clients and contributed t-shirt designs for various causes including breast cancer and ovarian cancer awareness. Tonia currently resides back in Mississippi with her family in the quaint town of Booneville where she paints from her home studio affectionately called, The Little Art Room."

These are from a collection of over 30,000 negatives. Like Degas I prefer the dancer's in the wings prior to performance."

She began dabbling with acrylics, creating small wall art & other home decor in 2013; but didn't become serious about painting until 2020. She considers herself as being "Spirit-led" rather than "Self-taught." She knows that her ability to paint comes from One Who is greater than herself and she is forever grateful that Jesus chose her as the vessel through which the creativity is expressed. Her canvas works & artprint notecards have been displayed & sold at Mississippi Farmers Market & other MS arts & crafts shows. She currently paints from home, with dreams of owning her own studio one day."     SOUTHERN EXPOSURE -SUBMITTED WORK AND STATEMENTS BY MISSISSIPPI ARTISTS Would you like to be featured?

I taught 30 years art in grades K- college. I have served as an educator at the Ohr-O’Okeefe Museum of art and the Walter Anderson museum.
