Transplanting herself to Florida from Kansas and Texas, not only was Bonny Hawley's life changed but so was her subject matter. Living on the Gulf Coast of Florida surrounded by water her imagery explores the mysteries of the deep. Floating images barely seen peer out at the viewer and draw you nearer. What is the media? What am I seeing?
Bonny weaves from the fabrics of ancient worlds and threads of her imagination to create her mysterious flowing spiritual works. Her art celebrates life and stimulates the spirit. The work consists of acrylic mixed media collage, oil glazing, and cold wax medium and involves monoprinting, stenciling, metallic paints, gold and silver leaf and hand painted papers on raw silk and linen.
Living in Naples, a winter tourist destination that brings art collectors to her doorstep, means she doesn't travel far to meet them.
See her on December 28 & 29 at the Coconut Point Art Festival in Estero, FL, and at other art fairs in Naples throughout the winter months.
