With oil painting and poetry, she works to create an emotionally driven narrative that connects the viewer to scenes of city life and nature in the Greater Victoria Area.To depict the brutalism and beauty of city architecture Totino leans into the clash of wet paint and bold lines that carve into the paint. In nature she find softness with large abstract brushwork. In all aspects of her work Totino chooses bold colors to set light and mood.
