Art Dolls

Bonnie’s experimental approach to her art, using different media and techniques, is informed by her study
of artists’ techniques and her art conservation background.  Her subject matter reflects her light-hearted
approach to her work.

       With each painting my journey of discovery broadens.   Each piece of unconventional
        realism is inevitably unique, made up of a  combination of eccentric characters in bright
        cheerful colours, layered on in unrepeatable combinations.

       From a simple notion, the subject builds upon itself  with each successive brush stroke,
        and takes on a totally unpredictable life of its own.  With an enthusiastic perky blend of
        colour and quirky detail, my intention is to bring a smile to the face of the viewer.

Bonnie combines her painting, jewelry making and sewing to create whimsical soft sculpture art dolls
