About the Artist

Bonny was fascinated by photography very early in life with her father’s work playing a major influence in the years of her apprenticeship. Kitty hazuria, a well-known fashion photographer through the 1970’s and 80’s, helped bonny hone her skills through photographing people and models while bonny was still in college. The fashion industry was only just beginning to boom and this provided bonny with several opportunities to experiment.
In the 90’s bonny realized that faces and people were her forte. She gradually moved away from the commercial and glamorous aspect of her art towards that which reflected her own personal evolution and growing maturity.

Academy Drawing Traditions
The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
