Tonya White, a junior BFA student with a concentration in Painting, offers the latest in a continuing series of artwork displayed in The Commons Cafe at the Library and Lamson Learning Commons.
In her statement, Ms. White commented:
-
“I have always first and foremost been a painter at heart, even though I hadn’t taken a painting class until I got to Plymouth. My true love and fascination is the endless possibilities of the use of color……I strive for meaning behind my artwork, but I have found that I am only really satisfied with the outcome if I allow the meaning to appear subconsciously over the course of creating the work, rather than being extremely deliberate.”
Ms. White celebrated her gallery opening at The Commons Cafe on November 7th. Pictured with the artist is Library Director, David Berona.
The paintings will be on display through November 26th.

Great to see this work in the Library.

Tonya has always wanted to express her self with pen, paper, or brush. She’s always been very talented. She seems to put us at an unfair advantage in pictionary. For people who don’t know her she also has passion for dance. We have many videos of her dancing from 1 year old and beyond. Yes she,s my daughter and I’m very proud of her.
I have many ! pictures and drawings Tonya has done since she was old enough to hold a pencil. I knew she was extremely talented since she was very little-Tonya thought it was just because I was her mother-but obviously it was more than that. I love her with all my heart and I am proud of her beyond anything anyone could imagine. well done Tonya -you always amaze me!
THAT PAINTING IS BEAUTIFUL! GREAT JOB.
MAN ARE YOU TALENTED
