- Donna Bonin

- By Yadira Roman

Donna Bonin is a passionate admirer of nature and a renowned watercolor­ist whose paintings are inspired by her experience as an avid traveler, and her beliefs of life and human connection. Her brushwork depicts a vibrantly malleable, patient, and keen artistry. Bonin's work is a creative transforma­tion of the beauty and serenity we often see in our adjacent surroundin­gs. Through her solid play with colors, texture, and emotions, she conveys the everyday image, message, and feelings to her viewers.

There is an acute mastery of color and shading that adds some aspect of realism to her paintings, while her abstract use of layering and strikingly energetic bright tones create a poetic interplay of depicting nature, and its stunning complexing layers. Recent works such as "Breaking Free" display her sublime aesthetic style in illuminate­d hues, and a symphony of parallel shapes, and lines.

Bonin is an active painting instructor hosting classes in her favored source of inspiratio­n, nature itself, and welcoming her students to discover their gifts through warm sunsets, the study of clouds, and the ever so alluring transition of seasons.
