Tobi Dannemiller

Artist & Naturalist – Celebrating the Beauty of Biodiversity.

Deep in the heart of West Virginia’s Lost River Valley where sunlight weaves through emerald boughs and chickadees chirp secrets in the breeze, is a haven nestled amongst the tallest of pines and stoutest of oaks. Here you can find Tobi Dannemiller, her artist’s heart nestled alongside her husband, Josh, in their cozy cabin. This is little cabin is where the magic resides.

Nestled amidst the rustling leaves, where the forest hums with secrets, a wellspring of inspiration bubbles within Tobi. She lets it flow freely through her brush, using vibrant Gansai watercolor pigments – a rainbow palette as ancient as the trees themselves – to capture the heart of the wild on canvas.

Art, once a forgotten melody, had always hummed beneath the surface of Tobi’s soul. But family whispers of “security” steered her towards a path paved with spreadsheets and deadlines. Years later, the weight of that path manifested as a storm cloud of illness, forcing a critical crossroads. The “American Dream” gleamed with a cold, artificial light, while the whispering pines beckoned with the promise of something far more profound.

Tobi chose the whispering pines. Now, her days are filled with the joyful symphony of nature – the earthy scent of pine needles clinging to her hair, the comforting crackle of a campfire, and the delightful mess of paints that spill forth from her overflowing heart. Sharing this love of the wild with you, dear viewer, is the sweetest reward.

The Lost River Valley, a haven where towering white pines sway like gentle giants, has become Tobi’s muse. Their secrets, carried on the wind, whisper of rejuvenation and inspire every brushstroke. Each heartfelt painting is a bridge, connecting the human spirit to the untamed beauty of the wild, a reminder that true happiness often lies in the simplest of things: a breath of fresh air, a splash of color, and the twittering of birds on a branch.
