Meet the artist.
Hello and welcome! I’m so happy you’re here. My name is Tonya Tison and I am an acrylic artist living in the Pacific Northwest on the coast of Oregon with my husband and two children.
Inspired by the beauty of the ocean.
I fell in love with creating at an early age and always knew I would be an artist one day. I pursued my dream of becoming an artist by attending the University of Oregon, where I explored many different artistic disciplines. It was a time of growth and also served as a way to help focus on what I really wanted to pursue.
Growing up on the Oregon coast instilled a deep connection to the ocean. It’s what inspires me most. I feel so fortunate to call this place home. I have a small home studio where I mostly paint seascapes based on the local beaches I visit.
My sincere hope is that you feel the same sense of calm and connection to the ocean that I feel while I create each piece.
