“Every time I get an idea, I write it down in a kind of personal idea notebook. Then, when I have time, I develop those ideas calmly. There are still some unrealized ideas left in that notebook, but I enjoy finding them there. Maybe someday they will be ‘brought to life.’ Of course, ideas are born from personal experiences and one’s personal environment.”

Since 2018, Toma has been a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Association and holds the status of an art creator. In 2021, she became the head of the Graphics Section of the Lithuanian Artists' Association's Klaipėda branch. Toma has organized over 10 solo exhibitions and participated in 35 group exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad, including in Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Armenia, and Japan. Her works are part of private collections and are exhibited in various museums around the world, including Lithuania, France, and Italy​.
