ABOUT THE BUTTERFLIES
“UR BUTTERFLY” is a hand painted miniature art sculpture created by artist Toni Martin. Inspired by her own traumatic experiences and battles of overcoming mental abuse, self worth, depression, confidence, and personal growth found in finding a light at the end of the tunnel. Ultimately designing art that others can connect with that stands for strength, beauty and change! There is beauty in change and you have the strength to handle it! The goal is to grow "UR BUTTERFLY" in areas that offer aid to a good cause. Not only is it a beautiful inspirational gift and collectable, but will also help raise money for charities centered around women empowerment and children. Just like a true butterfly we are all uniquely created with our own color pallet and backbone.

ABOUT TONI
It was in art that Toni Martin found her greatest method of communicating with a world that often didn’t understand her words, giving her a beautiful language that made her feel articulate and free. A self-taught artist with little formal training, Martin has spent the last eight years honing her particular skills through different mediums. The literal definition of the “starving artist,” she has slept on the couches of friends and on the floors of government housing, sacrificing comfort and security in pursuit of her craft. Fortunately for the passionate artist, she has built a career that allows her to use her talent to help others and give back.
