Tobi’s background in interior design has helped shape her paintings. Her works are designed to be hung on the walls of homes rather than galleries - they’re dramatic enough to be a focal point without completely dominating the room. Many of them use only a small range of colors that allows them to be easily matched to any surrounding color scheme, whether you’re looking to create a pop of contrasting color or blend in. Tobi manages all this while keeping a signature style. Her works are bold and bright with a very textured feel to them. While mixing in figures, plants, and animals, she maintains a certain level of abstraction. This allows paintings like Ozark Sunset to have both a dreamy and relatable feel - regardless of whether you’ve visited the Ozarks, you can connect to the mood of the artwork. Her paintings are also very high quality in terms of both the techniques and the materials used.
