Born in 1974 in England, Bonnie travelled to New Zealand to live in 1978 where she grew up on the West Coast of the South Island. She now lives in Marlborough in the heart of New Zealand’s wine region on a small lifestyle block surrounded by her many animals. She has been actively exhibiting her artworks since 2000 and was awarded scholarships to complete a Diploma with Honours in Art and Creativity in 2013. It was during her studies that Bonnie developed her unique style and settled to working with mixed media collage.
Texture, Bright colours, graphic text, humour and a strong comic thread are repeating themes within her body of work.
