Bio: Toni Cheshire is a mixed media artist living and working in Lockhart, Texas. I’m a member of Emmanuel Episcopal Church, a small, but vibrant church in our community of 12,000. I believe that art communicates, soothes and heals whether it is done by visually soaking up a work in front of you, or by feeling chalky pastels or waxy crayons in your hand as you experience colors and mark making. I feel blessed to be able to use my gifts to construct pieces of art and to use workshops to encourage others to experience the joy of creating.
