BIO
Toni Toscano is an impressionist photographer. She creates dreamy artworks for the sentimental collector. Her nostalgic nature and fascination with the fleeting nature of memories are the inspiration behind her ethereal creations.
Toni was drawn to photography from a young age. At twelve years old she attended Sugarloaf Fine Arts Camp where she learned how to operate a manual camera and develop film. In 2016, she deepened her practice through courses at the Austin School of Photography and began dedicating her time to it as a serious artistic practice. She now shoots mostly digital, but will occasionally pull out her 35mm Minolta for old times sake.
Her work has been included in various group shows in Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA. Most recently her work was selected for ArtSpan’s Art in Neighborhoods program in San Francisco as well as the Texas Photo Rodeo group show hosted by Dab Art Gallery in Austin, TX. Her previous innovative, mid-pandemic, outdoor virtual gallery was highlighted in both Glasstire and Almost Real Things publications.
