Bonnie spent 30 years living on her family's horse farm in upstate New York. When the barn closed and her youngest son began kindergarten, she began something she hadn't done for more than 20 years - paint. Life on the farm, the mountains, valleys, and historic villages that surround it, give her unlimited ideas.
Bonnie's paintings can be seen at juried craft shows, and galleries as well as on calendars, jigsaw puzzles, greeting cards and Christmas ornaments. For the past four years, she has been selected by "Early American Life's" magazine for their Directory of Traditional Crafts or their Holiday Directory. In 2007 Bonnie was chosen to design an ornament for the Blue Room Christmas tree. It remains in the White House's permanent collection.
Bonnie and her husband, Scott, reside on her family's Spring Gait Farm with their three sons, two cats and their dog Marley.
