....A rose by any other name still hopefully smells as sweet....
As you can see my name has changed, though it actually hasn't...Let me explain!

Ok, my married name is Toni (Antonia) Townsend and this is the name I have been using for my artworks, but I have decided now to revert back to my maiden name for my Art, so from now on I am Toni Cogdell. (and Toni coz that's what everyone calls me )

Don't worry, I'm happily married still!  It's just a simple case of me wanting just one name, rather than me separating my old figurative works to my newer fantasy stuff. I started out, years ago, exhibiting under the name Cogdell, and when I became disillusioned with my art and began exploring my Muse more I decided to use my married name to distance myself form my old work. But now I'm really happy with where I am and what I'm doing so I'm hoping to get back into the galleries again and go forward with Ummph!!

So basically, if you see the name Toni Cogdell or Antonia Townsend by my work, don't worry they are both me!! 

And also I have just redesigned my website [link] so check it out if you have time.
And on some of the pages you will also find some poetry written by Annie Cogdell...my mum! 
I will be talking about my mum lots more soon as we have some very exciting collaborative projects coming up!

And talking of pictures...Here's a new one! Titled Awakening...
