A single image, manipulated and multiplied using Photoshop, can create a new reality, true to the essence of the original but amplified and intensified.
I work in a realistic style, always capturing the play of light, shadow and dancing colors. The reflections in glass fascinate me and I must capture every nuance, always adding my own creative personality.
As a photographer, I seek to inspire others to look at the world through fresh eyes and a new perspective. When “something interesting is seen in the ordinary” I have accomplished my goal.
I love to use nontraditional materials in my paintings and I am inspired and motivated by spiritual practices with God and the beauty of nature. I have a large studio at the nonprofit I founded called Kairos Creative Arts Center in Austin, Texas, which provides resources to artists and the community.
I paint landscape, still life and figurative works in watercolor. My most recent focus and passion are animal portraits—I love to capture them in their most natural, candid states.
My medium is oil on canvas. It’s hard to say what inspires me, as it can happen anywhere at any moment. I know when I see it. One of my favorite subjects is the work day, as pictured here.
My art is a technique/process-oriented practice which focuses on colorful expressive figurative imagery and lifestyle references including neighborhood canines, backyard garden flowers and my husband’s many guitars.
I chase dramatic light, timeless beauty and fleeting moments of perfection. Through monochrome and digital photography, I capture the emotion.
Through my portrayal of an intimate view of animal and birds, I hope to inspire in the viewer the reverence that I feel for these creatures. Colored pencil perfectly accommodates the finer details.
I intuitively paint whimsical, contemplative pieces intended to nurture feelings of joy and happiness, while also stimulating the imagination, a sense of curiosity and a connection to nature.
The dramatic nature of my work is translated through my fascination with capturing emotionally charged landscapes. In my practice, I explore the themes of movement, introspection and transformation. My subjects range from minimal landscapes to monumental waves.
My photographs are auto-portraits of an inner world where cultures and languages fuse into surreal canvases of contemplation. Where borders melt away and walls disintegrate. Where different moments live as one.
“And the Water Shall Rise” is the latest and most epic painting in my “Manasquan Beach” series which are inspired by a recurring dream/nightmare of tidal waves battering the Jersey Shore (yes, very Freudian!).
A figure of 21st century digital op art scene, I channel and crystallize the forces and beauty of nature in harmonious and striking works. The Chromaluxe technology allows for varied and adaptable formats and formulas, in order to fit each and every space according to its specifications.
My artwork expresses my passion for nature while creating depth through texture and color, pulling the viewer in to ponder the beauty that surrounds us and appreciate its significance and fragility. Sky above, sea below.
Each time the season changes, I am compelled to photograph the beauty I find. In this image, the dogwoods are blooming and the trees are reflecting against stones in the water of the abandoned quarry.
I am fascinated by creating abstract art because the creative possibilities are nearly endless; there are no limitations as to the form and content. I want to create aesthetic compositions filled with harmonious forms and colors.
My intention is to create space for the viewer to experience the love, peace and joy I feel as I paint. My hope is for that joy to linger, and perhaps even transform.
I create intimate photos of nature, finding the perfect perspective, lighting, season and weather conditions. I hope to inspire people to appreciate and connect with the natural world.
Beauty is found in broken and discarded items and I transform those seemingly useless objects into something new. My desire is to illuminate hope in the broken areas of our lives.
It is my desire to paint what I see, so that the person viewing the painting can see what I see and possibly have a similar experience to mine. I love Africa and spending time in the wild. I attempt to capture the personalities of the animals I paint.
“Bais Hamikdash in Paradise” is “KaleidoArt” that is shared (as opposed to kaleidoscopes that change when you show them to someone else.) In it is the Holy Temple in Jerusalem surrounded by “flames” of Bird of Paradise flowers.
I delight in exhibiting expressionist pieces full of humour and movement. I accomplish this through examination of everyday things and ideas and then translating them so they become a part of the viewer’s story.
I am captivated by simple textures and shapes. I capture them with my camera, then transform them into a new artistic reality. Only the finest archival quality materials are used.
I’m magnetically drawn to “Sights often Seen, Rarely Noticed” for their history, irony, isolation and/or beauty. They remind me of who we are, where we’ve been and where we may be going.
Glass is my passion, primarily stained and fused glass. I hope my work tells a story and people discover the magic of glass. Teaching glass to my developmentally disabled clients is my joy in life.
I’m inspired by nature without human interference. I travel seeking epic natural beauty and bring the healing power of the sounds that only the earth makes to my work.
My paintings are inspired by my native Italy and the landscape around my home in Scotland. Painting in thick impasto and glazes, my aim is to convey a memory of colour and light.
I use the power of color to emphasize the emotions that are often understated in reality. The psychology of the color is often hidden in the composition of my work.
My art describes personal experiences of meditation. I paint life-sized meditators on Plexiglas, photograph them, make archival prints, then continue to paint and draw on the prints, depicting the marvelous energies I encounter in meditation.
We love Bonny’s art and have several pieces in our home
What a lovely collection! I’m especially fond of the collage by Re Kielar.
