Tonia Sanft is an Australian artist based in Melbourne. She paints a variety of genres and styles from colourful seascapes and landscapes to contemporary, female, linear nudes and abstracts.
“I am constantly amazed by the sheer beauty of nature, the play of light and its extraordinary colour and movement.
“The French and Australian Impressionist painters and their use of bright and vibrant colour to capture the moods of weather and its impact on the scene, have influenced me greatly.”
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration.
Claude Monet
By the ocean, a very happy place to be!

Tonia awarded a Highly Commended prize at the 2022 Sorrento Art Show for her painting, “Take Me to the Sea”.
Through colour and vitality, the painting captures the spectacular beauty and wildness of the back beach of Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. The aerial scene, as the weather is changing, is the view from the top of wooden steps where a solitary girl descends, through the tea trees, to the beach. Her name is Wendy, a fictitious character, who often appears in Tonia’s paintings with the catch tag of “Where’s Wendy?”.
