About Silas Toney
Silas Toney was born in Sumter, South Carolina. He was not an avid reader as a child. But when he did, he often wondered, what kind of people authors were, and how did they come up with so many words? Many years later, writing and still wondering not only about the number of words but also the weight of a word. He is also a photographer, and spoken-word artist and was awarded a Certificate of Artistic Achievement from The Pinacothèque for his participation in the Luxembourg Art Prize 2022 and 2023. The Luxembourg Art Prize is one of the most prestigious international art contests in the world. He credits all accomplishments, his creative abilities to God, the Author of Creativity, the giver of every good and perfect gift! He endeavors to use every God-giving gift/talent to make known the excellencies of the One who called him.
