Bonnie has been painting and exhibiting in the Bay Area for the past 30 years. She has participated in group and solo shows in Oakland, Berkeley, Calistoga, Concord, Lafayette, and Healdsburg. She has studied drawing and painting at UC Berkeley, UC Davis, CCA, the Addison Institute in London, and with Louise Smith in Berkeley. She has taught art as a volunteer instructor in the Oakland Public Schools and Merritt College and teaches private classes to adults. She has contributed commissioned portraits to school fund raisers. Her paintings can be seen at the law offices of McDonough, Holland and Allen in Oakland or at her studio at her home in the Oakland hills.
Bonnie works in oil on canvas, watercolor, and pastel and mixed media. She loves to paint en plein air, from life, or from sketches and photos in the studio. Favorite subject matter ranges from landscapes of favorite places in California and abroad to the flowers in her garden. She has done series of works inspired by the urban landscapes of UC Berkeley, the grandeur of Yosemite and the Grand Canyon, and the simple architecture of old barns and mailboxes.
