Visual Art – Washington, D.C.

For almost three decades, Tonicia “Toni” Poe, artist, has been crafting unique artwork. A Nanticoke/Lenni-Lenape Native, born in Delaware, she had a vision of what she wanted to do since childhood, and with her decision to create Tèh Handmade, she has finally brought her vision to fruition! She was once a local paper news writer, and military wife living in California, and it is still one of her favorite places to this day! Toni currently lives in Maryland close to the Potomac, with her beloved, talented and loving family, and crazy little black cat, Raven, which is overall very fun, centering and inspirational for her! Toni was recently an exhibiting artist at the 2018 Art Impact Golden Juried Art Exhibition in Wash., D.C. for her artwork "Earth", and a selling artist for her relief piece, “Vanessa”, in the Out of Order Exhibition at Maryland Art Place in Baltimore, Maryland. She successfully exhibited as a chosen artist at the Annual Pancakes & Booze Festival-2017 event, and was awarded a Notable Artist status in the juried exhibition of Art Impact, USA, featured at the Pepco Edison Gallery in Washington, DC. She has also exhibited at Raw Artists show at the Howard Theatre in DC for jewelry and art, and displayed/contributed at several events to support the students of WU Media at Wilberforce University in Xenia, Ohio. Toni also has a business partnership with her eldest daughter to provide safety training and emergency preparedness, is a homeschooler, and owns a technology integration business. She is a very busy bee! Toni is best described as a woman who eats all the fruits of life! She observes so much in her journey, and has the viewpoint that love transforms, heals and inspires.
