Denise Tonner has a background in printmaking and has sold hundreds of original monotypes, etchings and paintings.
She has a degree in linguistics and worked for many years as an ESL instructor in a university setting. That work has given her a fascination for languages and cultures. She has taken many courses at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and also completed online classes in illustration. Currently, she primarily creates images using printmaking inks and watercolour. Her images can be described as charming, quirky and fun.
