Creativity .....
derived from 
intimacy with God.
Toni is available for speaking engagements including transporting your group with interpretation of her art,  Retreat Leadership, reading from and discussing one of her books, or speaking to a club, civic, church, or personal interest group.

My novels and paintings are expressed through a blending of the real world and a totally conceptual environment. My goal is to transport the viewer or reader to another time and place, by entertaining while encouraging and inciting a view of past, present and future events from another perspective.My "Wisdom" series books are to assist the reader on a journey to find peace, contentment, well-being, and joy through God's word.  Also, published are memoirs, a poetry book, an illustrated and written children's book, and two cook books with my husband, Joe Howlett.
