What got me started -

My elementary school art teacher Ms. Marie Goss (R.I.P.) convinced my parents to allow me to participate in professional life drawing classes with adults at the Delaware Art Museum school in the affluent section of my hometown. She recognized my artistic spirit and exposed me to art museums, the Renaissance, African Art & so, so much more.

Artoni understands the dynamics of color theory & how certain colors correspond to musical notes and applies those principles throughout his artworks.
