For three years in high school I went to classes six days a week. I was part of the Westchester Art Program which selected three students from different high schools throughout Westchester County and put them in a Saturday art class. For two of those years Toni Quest was my teacher.
Toni Quest is a self taught artist known as the Screaming Woman. After surviving a car crash there was not much else for her to do in her recovery except produce art. To deal with her physical and emotional pain she created the screaming woman series.
Toni Quest is also a published author, her poetry, as well as her award winning cover artwork, can be found in the novel View From the Middle of he Road Vol. II. Toni is so much more than a great artist, she is also a wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend.
