Tonya Henderson Rollyson

Poet - Visual Artist

About the artist:

Impressionism, Symbolism and Art Nouveau have heavily influenced my work. I admire the work of artists such as Monet, Manet, Klimt, Renoir, Degas and Chagall. I tend to paint a lot of circles. The circle is representative of life itself. Life is God, a perfect circle with no beginning, no ending. I have begun to include my thoughts in written form, into my paintings. I feel as though this allows me to connect more immediately and intimately to the viewer. I was born in Flint, Michigan and currently reside in Gaines. I attended the Colorado Institute of Art's Visual Communications Program and graduated with an associate's degree of occupational studies in 1987. I have designed for television, worked as a graphic artist for advertising agencies, marketing firms & graphic design studios and have marketed original designs. Currently I teach and hold painting workshops in my studio as well as throughout the country. I have exhibited in shows from Pittsburgh to Orlando, Denver to New York City and extensively throughout the State of Michigan. Agora Gallery in NYC is currently representing my work.
