Welcome and Hello!

Upside Down Kitty (Toni Hartje) is an artist born, raised, and currently living in the Pacific Northwest. Toni is an avid gardener; when she’s not painting or playfully walking through the forests, you can find Toni working in her many flower gardens or her vegetable garden. She loves nature and is inspired by its’ many varied colors, textures, sounds, and inhabitants. Her art depicts the natural world as she see’s it; with a twist of punchy colors, curiosity, playfulness, and enchantment.

With every painting you can dive into a world where the ordinary meets something unexpected. Allow your imagination to wander through the enchanted forests, vibrant meadows, and energetic waterscapes of the Pacific Northwest. Experience the thrill of a splash of drama, a whisper of fantasy, and a burst of color that will ignite your senses. Let your curiosity guide you as you explore the hidden wonders of nature.

Welcome to a realm of endless possibilities, welcome to the world of Upside Down Kitty.
