Bonnie, a native Mississippian, resides in Camarillo, California but has lived in France, Turkey, Italy, and several locations in the United States. She received a Master’s degree in French from the University of Mississippi, a TESL certificate from the University of California-Santa Barbara, and a CELI certification from the Università per Stranieri, Perugia, Italy. She began her study of oil painting in 2007 at the Van Art Studio in Castelvolturno, Italy with Luigi Van Westraut and was awarded a Diploma d’Artista in 2009. She currently studies with Master Artist David Gallup. She also teaches Italian at Conejo Valley Adult Education in Thousand Oaks, California.

“My ongoing goal as an artist is to challenge myself to create ever more complicated and sophisticated works of art. Over time my paintings have become less traditional with an emphasis on design, color harmony, expressive brushwork, and abstraction. I hope my paintings show how I am experimenting with these concepts.”
