She also lived a year in Japan as an exchange student during high school, this experience had a profound influence and has provided much inspiration in her art and life. Toni is a UW alumni where she studied fine art, she worked 33 years as a King County public librarian, and is now retired from that career to become a full time writer and artist. She said that sometimes she still sees one of her t-shirts being worn at Hi-Lo’s. I agree! In fact, she loved her new town so much when she first arrived that she made a series of t-shirts showcasing our notable landmarks such as, McGavin’s, Manette TV and the green hammerhead crane. ” I liked the vibe, the quieter pace, it was cheap, cool and gritty….perfect for an artist”. When I asked her, why Bremerton? I loved the response. Toni is a Seattle native who, like many, made Bremerton her home about 8 years ago. Early Bird, the first to be released in the series, is an award winning book recognized by the American Library association and was also voted best board book by the New York Library. The trilogy, also feature her original artwork inspired by a Japanese coaster that Toni picked up at our local St. I had the pleasure of chatting with Toni Yuly about the completion of her first book series. ![]()
