About the Artist

Artist Antoinette (Toni) Houtman features different techniques and media.  In creating her unique "Digital Paintings" she starts with one or more digital photographs, these are enhanced by adding scanned or drawn textures and objects. The final piece is then printed on paper or canvas. Since the “original” is digital, the print is the only physical representation. Toni is often inspired by the natural world which is reflected in her work. Trees, water gardens, animals and the lake shore are reoccurring themes. Toni is a lifelong resident of West Michigan. Toni has participated in competitions including ArtPrize, her art has won numerous awards and has been featured in national publications.
