About the artist:
Tonia is an award winning artist from England who has lived more than half her life overseas. Living in Australia and South East Asia has exposed her to many different climates and cultures but the one constant is the innocence of children and the inherent joy that comes so naturally to them all, regardless of their origin.
Capturing and portraying that 'joie de vivre' in a fresh way has become a passion bordering on obsession.
Bali, with its abundance of smiling and openly playful children, is providing endless inspiration

The Thirst Project. California, USA
Stella’s Child. Bali, Indonesia
Project Karma. South East Asia & Australia
