  Paintings and prints by Toni Quest   http://www.screamingwoman.com  Toni Quest is a self taught very accomplished painter and published poet. My wife Sarah and Toni have been best friends since college and remain in contact with each other as to date. Toni has had art exibits in Beaufort, South Carolina and also Augusta, Georgia of which she was picked from several select artists around the world to display her work for the 50th anniversary Tribute to James Brown.

 Toni has several prints of her work and book available View from the middle of the road Vol. 2 in US showcases the unique voices of African-American poets living the American experience: Makal Ani, Lucinda Clark, Toni Quest and Robert Ward.

For the past 19 years, Lucinda Clark, President of Phoenix Rising Art Enterprises, Inc., has worked with budding authors and artists, publishing and bringing the work o these talented newcomers to the public. In this second gorgeous anthology of poetry, Clark showcases her own work and the poems of three new poetic voices. Makal Ani, a South Carolinian, speaks from the heart about love and faith; Robert Ward, a North Carolinian, uses rhythm to explore his thoughts on spirit and memory, while Toni Quest, a New Yorker whose artwork adorns the anthology’s beautiful cover, ‘trips the light fantastic’ with her playful poetry.

This sterling compilation offers a fresh poetic view on what it means to live in . Each poet represents a different state on the east coast, and is given a section in the book to share views on love, life, spirit and even death. This is a feast of poetry and a wonderful gift for anyone who loves being the first to discover new talent.

                Paintings by Sarah

My wife Sarah loves to paint ; she used to paint quiet often back in the 70s. She always talks about how she wishes that she had more time to paint. For years she has been collecting all the tools of the hobby but for some reason just never seems to get around to it.  She claims that she is waiting to retire before she paints again. It is too bad that we all have to wait until she retires,  I think that she is very talented and would love for her to regain her interest in this hobby and perhaps hone her skills as an artist. Below are some examples of  her paintings that she did in the early 70's.
