THROUGH HER SHADOWS

Get to know me…

Bonnie Gail Lorenzen is a multi-talented artist and musician whose creativity knows no bounds. Born with a love for art, Bonnie began sketching cartoons from television as a young girl, a spark that ignited a lifelong passion for self-expression. She later honed her artistic skills at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, Virginia, where she studied art and discovered her talent for painting.

In 2019, Bonnie found a new source of inspiration in the legendary Bob Ross, whose Wet-On-Wet painting technique unlocked a deeper level of creativity and confidence in her work. From tranquil landscapes to majestic horses, loyal dogs, captivating abstracts, and portraits of famous personalities, Bonnie embraces the challenge of painting across diverse subjects. She firmly believes that you can paint anything you set your mind to, and her art reflects that boundless philosophy.

Her passion for storytelling extends beyond the canvas, flowing into her music, where she often incorporates elements of her artwork. Through songs like “Bob Ross Dedication,” she celebrates the beauty of creativity and the power of inspiration. Sharing her art and music with the world, Bonnie invites others to experience the joy, challenges, and beauty of self-expression.

Bonnie’s artistic expressions come to life through her use of vivid colors, striking contrasts, and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. Whether capturing the beauty of a landscape, the grace of a horse, the delicate charm of a flower, or the essence of a portrait, each creation reflects its own unique style and vision.

Working across various media—acrylics, oils, and watercolors—Bonnie embraces the versatility and freedom that multiple techniques provide. She believes that sticking to a single medium can limit the creative journey. For Bonnie, true growth as an artist comes from stepping outside her comfort zone, embracing experimentation, and exploring a diverse range of genres.
