Before Bonnie begins a painting, she spends time imagining the colors, shapes, and emotions she wants the piece to hold. Ideas brew in her mind — shifting, changing, and unfolding — until she knows not only what she wants to paint, but why. Every subject is chosen with intention.
She works slowly and thoughtfully, often stepping back, pausing, and studying the canvas as it develops. Bonnie analyzes her colors carefully, filling empty spaces with purpose and treating each painting like a puzzle of emotion, atmosphere, and instinct. Though puzzles may not be her forte, the act of piecing together a painting feels natural — a quiet, meditative process that she deeply enjoys.
When the final brushstroke is placed, another challenge begins: naming the painting. For Bonnie, a title must honor the feeling behind the work, not just describe it. Selling a painting is never the goal; it’s the meaning, the story, and the emotion that matter most.
One of her greatest joys is hearing the reactions of friends, collectors, and viewers once a piece is complete. Their words remind her why she paints — to connect, to express, and to share something heartfelt with the world.
