HAYASHI ART WORKS
Where Oil Painting and Photography Meet.
Hi! I'm Toni. 
I've been painting for about 15 years starting with Pastels, then Acrylics, before moving onto Oils. All of my teachers are from here in Napa Valley.
I've participated in the Art event at the Napa Fair twice, winning several ribbons including Best in Show in the amateur category. Winning ribbons in the County Fair in Calistoga was also fun and rewarding.
I've been in art shows at Napa Valley Country Club as well as the Silverado Country Club. My work has been displayed at various locations in Calistoga and Napa. Acumen Wine Gallery in downtown Napa displayed my work for four months . I participated in Napa Open Studios in 2023 and will be again in September 2024.
My work was recently shown in the Napa Art Walk downtown in Feb 2024.My studio is in my home which is so convenient. Once a week, fellow artists and I gather to paint and critique each others work.
In addition to painting, I love photography and have shown my work at most of the above venues. I particularly like to edit my photos on the computer and create different versions. I've been attached to a camera since I was a child, my favorite adventure being on safari in Africa and recently Croatia. I love both past times, and the chance to express myself.
