For Tori, it all started when she was just 2 years old. Armed with a blue crayon and a blank piece of paper, she drew her very first elephant.

Today, her art is sophisticated and refined yet its playful attitude remains the focus.

Tori’s work is a mix between pop art and cubism. Her "boys and girls" series is created in the pop art style, utlizing bright and playful colors. While her "poptart" series is cubist - inspired still life’s containing a variety of imagery including: wines, food and images of the Northwest. Her work is vibrant, energetic and boasts refreshing colors while the subject matter remains abstract and unpredictable.

Tori’s understanding of color, shape and form accentuate the feel of each piece while retaining the artistic fingerprint in which she has so skillfully developed. This unique balance is what makes her style so distinct, spunky and popular.

Tori’s unique style has been brewing ever since the day that first blue elephant was born. She always knew she was going to be an artist. She just wasn’t sure which direction it would take her.

She graduated high school in Maryland with many coveted art awards to her credit.
In college, her artistic instincts and background led her to pursue graphic design, computers and color theory. Due to her fascination with the way color reacts with other objects and it’s power over the senses and moods, color theory ended up being the focus of her studies and graphic design the foundation of her artistic style.

In 1999, Tori packed up her crayons and moved to Anacortes, Washington to work as an interface designer / illustrator at "How It Works". Having some extra time, she began to paint again and soon noticed the large amount of original art listed by self-representing artists on eBay. She tried her hand at it and has now sold well over 500 paintings since 2000, including many pieces sold internationally.

With her abstract concepts and advanced comprehension for line quality and color, Tori continues to develop her craft. Whether she’s using acrylic on canvas or crayon on paper- you never know what’s gonna’ "pop" up next.
