[2021] Three of Bonnie's paintings are included
in an exhibit, Instructors Showcase, which ran Oct
9-31, 2021, at Montpelier Arts Center in Laurel Maryland, where Bonnie
is a painting instructor. The exhibit focuses on artists whose work has
become well known in the area.
From
the Montpellier web site:
"For
over 40 years, Montpelier Arts Center has provided the residents of
Prince George's County and surrounding areas with opportunities to
learn from some of the leading artists in the field. Join us in
celebrating our instructor's works of art that have inspired so many."
"I
usually work in acrylic," Bonnie said, "but lately I have been fooling
around with spray paint, probably because we were never allowed to use
spray paint.”
Bonnie's
work typically involves the natural world -- plants and animals. She
works on community art projects such as large murals on display at
parks, community centers and public buildings in Maryland.
