GROWING UP IN A LITTLE TOWN IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA NESTLED AMONG THE PINE TREES, MOUNTAINS AND CRYSTAL CLEAR LAKES, BONNIE WAS THRILLED WITH THE BEAUTY OF NATURE.  SO, AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, SHE SET ABOUT TRYING TO CAPTURE IT WITH PENCIL/PAPER AND CRAYONS.

 

AS SHE GOT OLDER, SHE NATURALLY DISCOVERED THE PAINT BRUSH, BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL SHE STARTED EXPERMENTING WITH OILS THAT SHE DISCOVERED HER TRUE LOVE.

 

BONNIE SET ASIDE HER LOVE OF OILS TO RAISE 3 CHILDREN, 1 GIRL AND 2 BOYS. BUT THE ARTISTIC SIDE STILL EMERGED IN PAINTING MURALS ON HER KID'S BEDROOM WALLS, MAKING UP BEDTIME STORIES AND WRITING

POETRY FOR HER DAUGHTER.

 

NOW ENJOYING THE LIFE OF 5 GRANDAUGHTERS, BONNIE WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE PAINT BRUSH UP ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO AND AS A SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST SHE BEGAN LEARNING AND GROWING TAKING A FEW CLASSES AND SEVERAL WORKSHOPS.

 

SHE HAS BEEN ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE OKLAHOMA ARTIST  GUILD, AND STILL A ACTIVE MEMBER . SHE IS ALSO A ACTIVE MEMBER OF THE EDMOND ART ASSOCIATION AND HAS EARNED SEVERAL AWARDS.  SHE EARNED ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2009 WITH OAG.

 

HER HOPE IS THAT YOU ENJOY HER ARTWORK AS MUCH AS SHE ENJOYS CREATING IT.
