Toni Weathers is a multidisciplinary artist, creative strategist, and entrepreneur whose work exists at the intersection of art, design, culture, and community. Known for her clean, intentional aesthetic and bold use of color to evoke emotion, Toni blends intuitive artistry with strategic thinking to transform ideas into meaningful experiences. From expressive portraiture and large-scale murals to brand development, interior design, and creative direction, her work transcends traditional artistic boundaries.
Often referred to as the “Olivia Pope of creativity,” Toni has built a reputation for bringing clarity to complex visions and finding innovative solutions that connect creativity with purpose. Inspired by the wisdom and strength of elephants, she approaches every project with intention, cultural awareness, and a commitment to creating lasting impact.
Toni’s artistic journey began at just four years old, inspired by her grandmother. What started as a childhood passion evolved into a multifaceted career spanning fine art, entertainment, branding, and experiential design. After establishing herself in New York, she launched Authentic Expression in 2017, a creative platform dedicated to artistic freedom, collaboration, and authentic storytelling. Over the years, that vision has evolved into Crafted by Weathers, an all-encompassing creative brand bringing together her diverse disciplines, including visual art, murals, interior design, custom creations, brand strategy, and creative consulting.
Throughout her career, Toni’s work has intersected with entertainment, media, and culture. Her creative contributions include projects connected to The Jennifer Hudson Show, the BET Awards, SheaMoisture, Hidden Empire Film Group, and ALLBLK. From creating meaningful artwork honoring cultural icons to developing immersive environments for film, television, and brands, Toni continues to explore the power of creativity as both an art form and a tool for connection.
Beyond her individual artistry, Toni is passionate about building opportunities for other creatives. As co-owner of Lost Culture Creator Suites in Charlotte, North Carolina, she is helping redefine what a modern creative space can be. What began with a foundation in tattoo culture is evolving into a collaborative ecosystem where artists, beauty professionals, and independent entrepreneurs can build their businesses, connect with their communities, and grow together. Through Lost Culture, Toni is working toward a larger vision of developing creative spaces that foster artistic independence, entrepreneurship, and economic opportunity.
Whether transforming a canvas, reimagining a physical space, developing a brand, or building a creative community, Toni’s mission remains the same: to use creativity as a catalyst for expression, opportunity, and meaningful change.
