How I ran away with the....

In 1997, Toni-Lee painted her first set of sideshow banners for Coney Island's Sideshows By The Seashore and the Coney Island Museum. Historical research on the history of the banner and over a decade later, countless banners and other sideshow themed paintings have been painted for top performers and collectors of sideshow and circus memorabilia.

Amazing! I love my custom sideshow banner!

“When I have an image in my mind's eye that needs translating from concept to tangible artwork - Toni-Lee is undoubtedly who I turn to. She's able, like no one before her, to seemingly capture my thoughts and dramatically put them to canvas. Perhaps equally stunning is the relative speed that she's able to do this in, all-the-while thriving on the commissioner's feedback to produce meticulous pieces of both promotion and art. I'm proud to say that her work graces both my home and my office. And, as icing on the cake, she's an absolute pleasure to deal with... one of those rare people that you just LOVE to have around!”

I have the pleasure of owning several of Toni-Lee Sangastiano's Banners. It has been one of the Greatest experiences I have had collaborating with her on each project. Each banner is a Work of Art and represents each piece in my Sideshow collection Wonderfully. What more can I say except, WOW!"

"Hey, the banner looks more like me than I do. Impressive!"
