Items of Interest about A. Taylor-Salisbury

Antoinette (aka Toni) was drawn to art at an early age. For as long as she can remember, she has seen blank paper as a place to draw. This included notebooks, journals, paper placemats, napkins and the margins of church bulletins. Her favorite subjects were mammals and birds. Toni took art classes throughout high school and won Freshman Best of Show at the 500 Festival Art Show. For the past seven years her art has taken a back seat to her pursuit of higher education. She received her Bachelor of Science in wildlife biology from Ball State University and recently earned her Masters Degree from Louisiana State University.

Toni with a fine feathered friend

Toni and her husband, Brian met at a dance at Perry Meridian High School. They had each come with friends, but neither had a "date." They danced together and have been sweethearts ever since, weathering separation and long distance phone bills while they attended schools in different states. In October 2007 they were married. The invitations that were sent to friends and family members were lovingly constructed of paper hand made by Toni.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Salisbury

Toni arrived in Baton Rouge about two weeks before hurricane Katrina hit the Louisiana coast. She and a fellow student were sharing a two bedroom rental house, but felt so blessed at having missed the brunt of the storm, that they invited displaced New Orleans residents to stay with them for a time. They still hear from the family occasionally. Toni made many friends in Louisiana and one of them suggested that she use her artistic talents to design a logo for the Baton Rouge Audubon Society.
