Tonya Crawford Art

Tonya Crawford was brought up on military bases from Puerto Rico to Idaho since she was born into an Air Force family. The continuous movements played a very important role in molding her to become an artist. She was always sculpting, painting, or drawing as a child and she was lucky to have a mother who gave her a lot of support. When she came of age, she picked up a paintbrush and began painting the things she loved - patriotic images and country settings. Tonya marketed those little pieces of paintings to several outlets in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and soon Penny Lane Publishing "discovered" her. Her images can now be found on prints, flags, wallpaper, textiles, greeting cards, and many more items. When she entered the job market, she created opportunities for herself and within a short time she became Assistant Art Director at the age of 24 with a very successful printing company. Currently she lives in Tennessee on the beautiful Cumberland Plateau with her hero and husband, Norman. They are extremely proud of their 4 marvelously funny and very inventive children - Stephen, Callan, Ralf and Christian. Stephen is a comedy writer and an actor; Callan is a talented writer and artist; Ralf is a Motion Graphics and Visual Effects Artist; and while the little Christian is not yet decided on what he wants to become. Today, framed Tonya Crawford art is a common sight in many lucrative spaces around the globe, and can be seen in galleries, museums and homes.
